Yahoo stock will gain steam heading into the annual shareholder's meeting. Regardless of the looming Microsoft deal, the stock will raise to $25-26 heading into the meeting. Depending on control of the board after the meeting, the stock may approach $30. This has been a drawn out process with the Yahoo shareholder's wanting the deal done. The Yahoo board is simply holding out for a couple more dollars a share. Currentley the board is "willing" to reenter negotiations with Microsoft. I feel like the Yahoo board is giving into the Wall St pressure. Yahoo will be acquired by Microsoft in the next month. This is an easy buy.

I'm starting to get the impression that Yahoo is almost a "dead technology". Microsoft does not want their technology only their audience. If MS does not buy them out, it seems like they are slowly withering on the vine. Is there anything to suggest Yahoo has any innovative ideas up their sleeve?

I'm holding on to my Aug 25 calls. Was a fun ride last week, was tempted to get out then, but I'm holding on. YHOO will be selling *something* to Microsoft. Carl Icahn isn't going to lose twice in 2008 =)
