What the stock market seems to be saying is that MSFT has lost its opportunity to make a deal. Its stock is at ~$27.5. At this point if they announce any kind of deal to acquire yahoo, regardless of the price and value guarantees, MSFT stock could very well go to ~$25. I doubt if Gates would approve such a deal. Yahoo is also at about ~$26. Look for YHOO to announce a deal with GOOG soon to support its stock and pacify the activist shareholders.
Last time I mentioned this - the delta between GOOG and MSFT was about $90B. Today its about $77B. Look for this to fall fast with the next 6-8 months.
