WSJ: Microsoft-Yahoo: A Snappy Comeback?
May 4, 2008, 11:54 pm
Posted by Heidi N. Moore
Will Microsoft make a comeback bid?
Yahoo shareholders, likely reeling from the Internet company’s decision to refuse a $33-a-share takeover offer, may want to take solace in a couple of deals where “no” really meant “maybe.” In the past, Oracle and PepsiCo backed away from takeover attempts, only to return to the negotiating table after their prey twisted in the wind.
COMMENTS
Really nice article. It documents some other mergers that looked like they were dead, that later went through.
Take a few minutes to read the whole story.
Time will tell how this one ends.
Where do you think this story will end?

MICROSOFT DROPS YAHOO BID
Business Week article here.
Wall Street Journal article here.
Where does Microsoft go from here?
If this acquisition was a key part of the strategy how can they walk away?
OPINION
Right now I am guessing that Yahoo was pressing to maximize the price they received. Microsoft has essentially called that bluff. This deal, if it is going to happen will occur early next week.
Yahoo will send feelers back to Microsoft and a deal will happen.
Could be completely wrong on this. The egos involved are too big to let this situation look like a disaster.

Microsoft Corp. late Thursday was leaning toward going hostile in its pursuit of Yahoo Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, with an announcement likely Friday.
- Thought the price would get raised a few dollars and not get hostile.
- Looks like it is going to be an interesting Friday.
