As soon as they announced their offer, the stock shot way up. If someone wanted to hold out until the deal was finalized, then they only have themselves to blame. The real people who should be upset are the ones who bought the stock after the deal only to lose it when Yahoo! wouldn't play. This might not be true for some of the big shareholders who would have had trouble unloading boatloads of stock, but for most Yahoo! investors, they only have their own greed to blame.

Yahoo -18.4% GOOG -36.72% Microsoft -22.5% I think Yahoo hitting their 52 week low has more to do with the overall economy than their decision not to go with Microsoft. YTD Google and Microsoft are lower by percentage than Yahoo.

Yahoo -18.4%
GOOG -36.72%
Microsoft -22.5%

I think Yahoo hitting their 52 week low has more to do with the overall economy than their decision not to go with Microsoft.
