TC: “So how does the new deal generate twice as much income going into an economic downturn? And why would Microsoft agree to anything other than complete ownership of Yahoo’s search business? And how does the search business go from being worth $1 billion earlier this year to $20 billion in two years? – It doesn’t make much sense.”
RWW: “With all the questions surrounding Jerry Yang’s recent announcement that he is stepping down from the position of chief executive, and Yahoo’s share price coming in just over a ridiculously low $9 a few weeks ago, this new report makes us yet more eager to know what will be next at Yahoo!“
TC: “We were doubtful last night when the story first broke. There were just too many oddities to The Times’ tale about a complicated Yahoo/Microsoft search arrangement that would guarantee billions to Yahoo in exchange for a ten year search deal. We’ve checked with our sources – all of them – and we can’t verify a single fact in the story. … The Times, first published in 1785, has long been considered the newspaper of record in the UK, but yesterday they really stepped in it, and someone has manipulated them badly. Thankfully the markets weren’t open, because the article would have definitely resulted in a short term spike in Yahoo stock.”
