Jerry Yang must be doing something right. Today, May 6th. at 12.34 p.m. (ET), Yahoo! shares were quoted at $25.76, up $1.38 or 5.66 percent.

I can’t believe they have been able to hang on, but there’s been speculation that a chance of a Microsoft deal still isn’t completely gone.

Could it be that the Yahoo-Google deal is cooking?

I wonder if the DOJ would even approve such a deal if that’s what they are looking to do.

The end of the month seems a little soon to me. He may be given a chance to try and redeem himself and prove that company is worth $37 per share.

So far it hasn’t been a total Black Monday for Yahoo. As of 12:05 p.m. (ET) the price of Yahoo shares was $24.65 down $4.02 or 14.02 percent. As you can see, it’s slowly edging up.

That’s still quite a drop though, and it seems to be hanging around that price. What’s really interesting is that Google’s stock is up nearly 2% today ($11+). I’m guessing that people are foreseeing Yahoo trying to do more with Google.

In the first paragraph I believe you meant to say with the last line “…that Yahoo didn’t accept Microsoft’s upped offer.

On the flip side, this would be a great time to buy Yahoo! stock. Could very well be Yang has some Top Secret plan with Google or *shudder* AOL or they will crash and burn like Enron.

You’re right Guru, thanks for point out my error.

If people were confident enough in Jerry Yang’s ability to do something great with Yahoo, then I’d certainly agree that now would be a great time to buy Yahoo stock. For myself though, I’m just not 100% confident that Yahoo stock is going to be able to rebound to the kinds of prices they saw before 2006.

Analysts are saying Yahoo has the following options under its sleeve which could keep the price of the shares steady:

1. Outsource its ad business to Google.
2. Sell a 20 percent of their business to AOL.
3. Go back to the bargaining table with Microsoft.

I desperately need a crystal ball!
