Recap of CNBC's Fast Money, Wednesday May 14.


<!---->

Yahoo (YHOO), Microsoft (MSFT), Google (GOOG)

On Icahn’s decision to pursue Yahoo, Karen Finerman doesn’t think the risk/reward is worth it and believes a lot of the Icahn factor is already priced in. She is uncertain whether MSFT is still interested in the deal. She thinks Icahn’s radical proposals to reform Yahoo’s board might interfere with rather than facilitate a deal. Macke thinks Icahn will succeed and MSFT will return to the table. While Najarian agrees MSFT may still pursue Yahoo, he sold half of his Yahoo position. Adami would play this news by buying GOOG, and observes Icahn has been having difficulty extracting value from Motorola. Macke prefers to buy MSFT.
