Keep in mind that YHOO shares trade in the euro market for hours before the US extended hours session even starts. On a Bloomberg Terminal: YHO GR Equity That trading will ultimately decide where the US opens, obviously.

I think it'll take some time before it fully drops, but when it does it'll go into the mid-teens. Right now there's still enough speculation that MSFT is just bluffing to hold the stock into the low 20s. Who knows, but one thing's for sure, monday will be one volatile day for YHOO.

The stupidity on this message board is unbelievable. I'm not even going to try to tell you why you're wrong, since I'm hoping you're being intentionally obtuse, and not genuinely stupid. I also think this IS at least a small + for MSFT. They did drop a few dollars on the day of the bid...

you think 25% annually is a lot huh? Well look at the repo rate implied by the options on TMA! (Btw, I'm short those options, since I think the cost to borrow is unjustified).

I remember seeing a thread on ET a while ago about that scam, and I just read that those guys actually got raided by the FBI. How could these guys print clearly bogus money/coinage and not expect to get fucked? I mean, it's one thing if you mint a coin and have it say "1 oz silver", but they...

YHOO's going to tank on monday, MSFT should go up a couple points. I'd say sell everything. YHOO implied vol is going to stay high for a while, you can probably get a few cents for that call (but you'll have a good profit on the put), your MSFT call should do well, and your MSFT put is...

The employee poison pill isn't a big deal. MSFT was trying to buy the company FOR the talent there. They're not going to cut a ton of jobs as soon as they take over.

People are playing the racism card in this, and anyone who does is retarded, seeing how 2 of the cops that shot him were also black.

if YHOO is still in the mid-20s on monday, I'm going to write some calls, if it falls into the teens, I'm going to write some puts.

YHOO's forecasted to make 50 cents / share this year. Let's be generous and give them the same valuation as google's forward P/E (28.98). This makes YHOO worth 14.49 / share. Now, normally stocks trading at a P/E close to 30 are growth stocks.. So YHOO might not even be worth $14.49 /...

I have no idea why shareholders would be dumb enough to vote FOR a poison pill.

I actually just went and looked at the 8-K from when YHOO issues the rights. It's not dilutive to anyone except the party w/ the > 15% stake. Basically, all shareholders OTHER then the one w/ the 15% stake get a right to buy $250 worth of YHOO stock at half price. (It's a $250 preferred...

It's already established he doesn't give a damn about his shareholders.

MSFT cannot buy more then 15% of YHOO on the open market. Otherwise the poison pill provision kicks in.

berkshire shares barely have any liquidity during normal hours.. there's not gonna be any after hours.

You know, I shorted Jan 2009 30 puts on YHOO when it was at 19 (like 2 days before the deal was announced). I'm so glad I paid $4 to get out of that position a few days after the deal was announced. I did it because I was afraid Yang's hatred for MSFT would overcome his fiduciary duty to...

Ok.. in the REAL WORLD assuming REALISTIC CONDITIONS, on a SINGLE trade in a retail margin account, levered to the max, you can make 500% (minus transaction costs) on a single short trade. How? Single stock futures, margin requirement's 20%, so you can go 5 to 1.

they'll be back to 5 digits!

you're gonna need 100s of trades over years worth of time with real money for anyone to take you seriously.

Pfft, people are bitchin about nothing again. I spend $60 / week on groceries, and that's having them delivered to me mind you (from freshdirect.com). So that's $3120 / year, and that's with me buying good shit. If I were to be cheap and go to the grocery store and farmer's market myself...
