jerry yang and his yes men should be ashamed of managing to be one of the worse CEO’s in the history of man. The amount of money he lost for his bosses (shareholders) who were offered real money by Microsoft and instead are all in the poor house today. What a bloody mockery he is. He should be sued. It also shows what the joker thiefs are at Goldman and the ex Lehman who charged 35 Million for giving Jerry “the Einstein” Yang great advice-”you are worth much more than $33 per share (today $11-$14). The whole financial sector are charlatans and we have to suffer

to somewhere,us: just for the record, i dont appreciate all the capitalization in your message as it makes for difficult reading. you should know by now that i never capitalize. i’m probably troubled more by your lack of grammatical skills and i’m surprised that we’ve hired someone whose wife is obviously illiterate. anyway, to the point – there will be many more layoffs to come, especially with non-technical staff. we’re trying to fight off that 800-pound gorilla, google – oops, i meant microsoft, and i don’t care how many of my employees and shareholders i take down with me. at least sue never disagrees with me.

Why is this a surprise? 80% market share was always going to be a problem. Look at this development as an opportunity to profit from yahoo by buying shares or options on the chance of a potential takeover as discussed recently. Just look at what the market and investors are saying and the stock price reaction (up). Yahoo's days as an independent company are running out.
