Stop Playing Hard To Get

Keeping on top of the MicroHoo debacle is wearing me out. It is going to happen, it's just a matter of price. However, I don't think the EU will allow it to go through as they have disdain for MIcrosoft.

I only want Yahoo to stop acting like some aging Prom Queen playing hard to get. And Microsoft...they are standing outside Yahoo's apartment building holding a stereo over their head blarring Boston's "More Than A Feeling".

Seriously, the stockholders are feeling the crunch of our non-existent recession and they want to take the offer. The execs at Yahoo want to hold out for more money saying they are worth $12 billion more. I am no expert, however, is Yahoo worth over $56 billion? Those institutional stockholders who own both Yahoo and Microsoft shares would benefit both ways. They get the 61% premium over current value for the Yahoo shares and they get a bonus for Microsoft stock going up based on the takeover. Will the last vice president to leave Yahoo please turn out the lights?

Yahoo, your not getting any younger, girl. Stop looking for a better catch and take the ring already.
