About two weeks passed since it was officially declared that negotiations between Microsoft and Yahoo seized. But recently, the investor Carl Icahn asserted he envisages to by Yahoo shares of 2.5 billion dollars worth. Experts consider he may influence the final decision in the negotiation with Microsoft, as Carl Icahn is supporting the idea of merging.

I don't think that is reasonable for the Microsoft to swallow Yahoo. It's better for them to be separate. This will allow them to develop faster. Merging leeads to monopoly, and this is not good for the competition.

It has already become a new Microsoft. The point is that google's business is more related to people's needs within the internet. Microsoft is specialized in OS and software developing, of which people are sick. Many people are conservative and they learned basic knowledge in windows xp/vista. They don't want other softwares.

Google launched already its own IE, which is meant to be developed until it will reach the level and complexity of an alternative to the Microsoft office (Word, Excel...)

When Yahoo issued its first stocks back some 4-5 years ago, I was seriously thinking of buying some, as yahoo.com is a powerful search engine similar to google. But now I thank god for not doing that, its board of directors are disappointed a lot of people.

Yahoo issued its first stocks 3-4 years ago? It was founded in 1994.

But this does not mean that it registered at the US stock exchange in the first day the company was formed. There are many standards to be met when registering a company there, and they can't be reached in a couple of years. Secondly, it depends on the company's strategy, if it wants to attract capital, it will issue stocks, if it wants privacy - it won't even go to the Wall Street

Regardless of how rich or big a company is, if it wants a decent future it will normally issue stocks. Investments are permanently required for maintaining the growing rhythm.

Because of the pessimist atmosphere in USA about an upcoming recession Yahoo's stocks is now trading at 12$ which is a lot cheaper than the 33 or 35$ per share, that was proposed by Microsoft. Now the e-tech empire will just wait and see how Yahoo goes lower and lower in order to buy it in the end at a lower price.
