Yahoo Shareholder!

Yahoo Inc. shareholders are pushing the Yahoo Board to at lease sell part of the company. One of Yahoo’s biggest investor wants them to sell its search operations for around $15 billion. If Yahoo sold the search operations at that price shareholders would net about $22 a share, which is much higher than Yahoo is going for today. The big pusher of this deal is Ivory Investment Management, which also stated that the Board of Directors where “acting unreasonably” in the deal with Microsoft. The real problem is out going CEO Jerry Yang who is holding out for about $37 a share. If you don’t know already Jerry Yang is a co-creator of Yahoo and still has a lot of pull within Yahoo. He’s only stepping to the side because of some of the problems he’s created with shareholders. He’s still going to remain working with Yahoo; he’s not going away, just working in the background. I think Jerry Yang is a very smart man and the shareholders are just driven by what’s going on around them today. If they would listen to him and hold on to Yahoo stock they would make a lot more down the road. Yahoo is worth way more than the $33 a share Microsoft offered a few months ago. But shareholders are just looking to sell now instead of waiting a year till things improve. Oh well, their loss!

Wall Street Opens Up!

It seems that Wall Street will open higher in hopes that Congress will bailout the automakers. Sources close to the deal say that it could be a done deal today with President Bush signing off on it. This just shows how tough things are on Wall Street. Just news of any changes for the good can move the markets by huge percentages. And investors seem to be looking past the latest report on wholesale inventories, which dropped by 1.1 percent in October. I guess investors are looking at any good news, even if it comes has a bailout package. But reality will set in later on in the day and the markets will drop, happens every day.

Host Bill O’Reilly!

I was just reading that loud mouth host Bill O’Reilly will be leaving his syndicated talk radio show “The Radio Factor” early next year. O’Reilly said, “I can no longer give both TV and radio the time they deserve.” He will remain as the host to his TV show The O’Reilly Factor, which is on the Fox News Channel. I really don’t think his radio show was anything like his TV show. I think this was the right choice for him and his fans. So if you’re an O’Reilly fan it’s time to roll your tv stands out and pour yourself some hot coco, and sit back and enjoy the show.
