Why Yahoo Microsoft Buyout Matters
Almost every money market fund is heavily invested into the PPC market. What happens to Yahoo will directly impact more than just it’s stock holders, it will affect average investors who have no direct control over the outcome of the proposal.
I don’t think Yahoo search results are anything to write home about anymore, their relevance for many searches is way off base. Microsoft failed in their attempts at search market share, Yahoo lost it’s share and Microsoft has little chance of reclaiming any of Yahoo’s glory through this buyout.
Will Microsoft increase it’s bid? Will Yahoo issue a poison pill, essentially flooding the market with more shares making it too expensive for Microsoft to acquire them? Time will tell but I would like to see another player bid for Yahoo.
