I’m a little suspicious that Icahn may be working this angle strategically. The ideal deal for him is to make everybody – even including MS, think the deal is off and then keep on buying at the reduced prices and then come on in and force a new board and a probable sale to MS. It’s a high stakes game because MS can lose interest or Icahn can lose the battle or the poison pills could be too costly, but luckily we can all play. I’ll consider more YHOO if it goes below 20 again…

I’m going to hand-deliver my Yahoo share certificates to Carl Ichan along with a Louisville Slugger he can carry to the Yahoo annual meeting.
This mess is one of the worst examples of founder self-aggrandizement at shareholder’s expense I’ve ever seen. Jerry Yang’s conduct borders on felonious and his board should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting.
