Yang is an irrelevant lame duck. Yahoo is likely courting a counter offer from Google, et al. They should hold out for as much cash as possible and take the rest in stock at this valuation. It is a good move for their shareholders. YHOO has peaked and the Microsoft offer is the best anyone has seen since the dot-com valuations.

The board’s responsibility is maximizing shareholder value. I’d like to see their arguments that they can add MORE value than the MSFT deal. I think last time their argument was that Panama and their other initiatives were going to add it, but their stock price and performance dictates otherwise.

I really have to wonder how Microsoft buying Yahoo was going to benefit anyone. If they can’t beat Google then buying someone else isn’t going to beat Google either. Microsoft has enormous resources so it isn’t a technology problem, it’s a business management problem. They buy Yahoo and still have the same old business management problem.
