      Yahoo vs. Tech Stocks: Sad Snapshot
      Yahoo will be fine long term if drastic changes are made to restore investor confidence. Turning down $31 a share and then $33 a share and then having the stock go to $13.00 - wow is all I can say.

      Jerry Yang needs to be fired for cause and resign from the board and any golden parachute be withheld. I am contemplating suing the board of directors for breaching their fiduciary duty to me as a shareholder. They should have accepted the deal or in the very least allowed the issue to be voted on by the shareholders.

      Yang Exit Would Show Yahoo Is Serious About a Deal
      In a perfect world yahoo wouldn't have done everything it has to screw up a good offer from Microsoft, and also Microsoft should have just offered 33 a share a lot earlier. Now if there is a deal the google transaction is going to cost 250 million to get out of it, provided lobbying doesn't shut it down because of antitrust issues. There are consequences and Yang should go, but more than that. In a perfect world the following should happen to make this deal:

      1) It was a good step of the current board to say they are open to discussions - bad that Yang hasn't made statements that he is open to a deal - very bad. Yang needs to make a press release that he will support an offer of $33 a share.
      2) The current board offers 4 board seats to Icahn to withdraw his proxy bid. Icahn gets one, and he gets to handpick the other three. Cuban is business savy to say the least.
      3) Yang announces that he will step down as CEO if Icahn accepts the 4 board seats. Yang keeps his board seat - he did help found the company after all.
      4) Microsoft announces that if yahoo gives Icahn 4 board seats, they will offer 33 a share to the new board (which is more than the previous offer given the google deal tie ups).

      Perhaps it is wishful thinking, but aside from a merger it is going to take a long, long time for yahoo to trade at $33 a share.

      Microsoft Signals It Would Rather Talk to an Icahn-Controlled Yahoo
      I'm waiting for Icahn's proxy mail out so I can help vote out the current board. With the shareholder meeting less than a month away I hope it comes soon.

      I Think Microsoft Is Bluffing on Yahoo
      On another note, I just got the stockholder meeting package today. There is a letter from the board of directors warning that "..... the election of Mr. Icahn's slate result in substantial erosion of stockholder value."

      What do they call what they have done?? hahahah First turning down 37 a share, then 31, and finally turning down 33 a share and for what, $23.50 a share that it currently is trading at as I type this comment?

      I hope the entire board gets replaced and will be putting all of my votes for Icahn's board.
