Macro Hoo-Ha about Yahoo and Microsoft

msftyhoo.jpg


PC Magazine, among others, weighs in on the increasing buzz around a possible merger of Yahoo with Microsoft. Of course, the real reason this is getting such coverage is that the combined entity might be a real threat to the dominance of Google in paid search and online advertising. Other than that, Microsoft using their enormous cash reserves (which they can't figure out how to spend) to buy their way into a market they covet is not that noteworthy. The chart shows the change in stock prices Friday when the rumors broke out widely. It'll be interesting to see where this goes today.

No freaking way. I’m absolutely disagreeing. Next time when you post something think about reaction of readers.
