I applaud Microsoft for standing firm on their earlier announcement that they would not continue negotiating with Yahoo after their offer deadline had passed. Jerry Yang’s own ego got in the way of what was in the best interest of the shareholders and his days at Yahoo are surely numbered, despite the fact he is [...]

On Monday, Yahoo will be announcing that they are rejecting the unsolicited $44.6 Billion buyout offer they received from Microsoft earlier this month.
This is exactly the move I was hoping for. Depending on how traders take the news on Monday, Yahoo shares could climb if they believe Microsoft will make a counter-offer or they could [...]

I’ve been watching the news relating to the Microsoft bid for Yahoo very closely and I think that an increased bid around $40-45 per share could be in the offing.

Both of those events contributed to the plummeting stock price of Google and has made the price extremely attractive for [...]

In a surprise announcement today, Microsoft has offered to purchase Yahoo for $44.6 Billion. If Yahoo’s board approves it will be the largest acquisition in Microsoft history.
The $31 per share offer marked a 62% premium for the stock. Yahoo has been struggling of late to compete with online search giant Google, which is suffering from [...]

For the first time in Google’s three and a half year history, quarterly earnings missed analysts estimates. I saw the potential for this scenario during a post I made in January because of the program changes Google made that I feel would adversely affect profitability.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Google shares drop under $500 in [...]

Google stock is down significantly in the last couple days of trading, along with the market as a whole. Google is reporting earnings soon and has been growing at an impressive pace each quarter but there is now some doubt about the company’s earnings going forward.
Specifically there has been a lot of talk that Adsense [...]

I’m not sure if it is just effecting this blog or if earnings are down across the Internet during the month of December. I haven’t been noticing slow traffic, but CTR is down considerably and thus total earnings.
I am in the process of expanding my online earnings out of just this blog and my Credit [...]
