Anyone think Microsoft will bite on $40 a share ?

I'm not even sure that Yahoo's $40+/share (aka $56+ billion according to ars) is real. Looks like they're just trying to save face by putting the figure higher than even MS can produce.

They'd rather just play nice with Google, even if it puts them in a precarious position, than roll over for MS.

The 52 week high was 34.08. I don't know about 40.

Yeah, the article itself says the last time they hit 40 was 2005.

Well, most people look at the 52 week high but one never knows what's on MS's mind.

If that two big companies will merge, possible that it will compete well to google.

The worst thing about any absorption of one large company by another is, there will be a loss of jobs. Downsizing always takes place. That puts more people out of work and confirms The Theory Of Increasing Misery.
