Microsoft likely to raise thier offer for Yahoo. If that happens, you know what will happen to share value...

I can't agree with that, amigo..
YHOO was trading at $19 before the MS bid and hovering at $28 since..
If Microsoft raise the bid by even 20% than that's your upside, but the alternative = no deal, will send YHOO screaming down to fair value at $19, maybe even less leaving you with a 50% loss... and lets look at the news on Yahoo:

Do you really want Yahoo and Microsoft management to be in charge of delivering you with value?

blacktuna, I don't think the market is not as sophisticated as you think. Doesn't matter for how much YHOO is trading now, if a new Microsoft-Yahoo merger is on the table the stock will rise. Seems to me like one of those basic investment rules...

true... but BECAUSE the market is efficiant, if the deal falls through.. you're gong to be lighter on the wallet side..
