    How many of you are truly in it for the long run.

    Reply Quote
    So, now that MSFT has abandoned their bid to buy YHOO, how many of you YHOO longs will hold their shares, even in the face of a 20-30% decline on monday (tomorrow), hoping for a future MS deal.

    I can't see any positive outlook in this stock (YHOO) until atleast after their shareholder meeting, when the large institutional investors grill Jerry Yang for not coming to an offer that would have provided massive profit.

    I certainly can't see MSFT making any new bid, until after the shareholder meeting...


    (MS Long here, and YHOO put holder)

    I personally was going to buy some yahoo a few weeks ago.. Decided not to for non-market reasons (school) and I am glad I didnt.  I think that nothing will happen between the two again for some times, until after the shareholder meeting. I think the CEO is going to have some questions to answer, and I think the board of directors may see some new faces. 

    I think that YHOO will drop back to the high teens.  I may consider buying some then, but not at its current price.  If I was long YHOO, I would sell.  Kinda wish I was short YHOO right now.

    As a GOOG owner, I am salivating at this break-up and hope that the market realizes that MSFT isn't a viable competitor to GOOG. MSFT should do what IBM did; it should go into the consulting business.

    VISTA and the X-Box 360 is all the proof that I need.

    besides MSFT's immediate boost in shares, GOOG is going to be the real winner in the short term (30-60 days). Even Ballmer himself confirmed GOOG's dominance in search, and the willingness for MSFT to go to great lengths to compete against it.

    I held a June 700 Call a few weeks ago, and sold it when its value doubled. I am now kicking myself because in the near term, it's entirely possible that its value would have quadrupled.

    I also bought a share in GOOG when it hit 450, and then sold after it hit 550 about a week ago (22% gain in less than a month)

    still kicking myself with both of those... The good thing is that the proceeds from the option sale, and the GOOG sale, financed my current holdings in MS Calls and YHOO put.
