Yahoo rejects Microsoft approach | |
|
||
| Time: 10:54 EST/15:54 GMT | News Source: BBC | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
Yahoo has rejected a takeover bid worth more than $40bn (£20.5bn) from software giant Microsoft because it is too low. Yahoo said the offer "substantially undervalues" the company and is not in shareholders' interests. Microsoft's offer was worth $31 a share, 62% above the level at which Yahoo stocks were trading when the offer was made on 1 February. A merged Microsoft and Yahoo would be one of the biggest technology firms, and would rival industry leader Google. |

| I heard that yahoo bought everyone on their board strings of garlic to wear. Saying no turns out to smell better. |

| This may work out for MS. I'm no fan of this deal, but I would wait about a month or more for Yahoo stock to drop then offer even less (that's probably why I'm just a programmer). |

It appears msft put their yahoo money in a checking account, and bought Danger with the 10 days worth of interest.
