So even better if that's the old Verizon wireless logo because Verizon wireless is a subsidiary of Verizon Communications and it's Verizon Communications ( the parent company) who is bidding. All in all the point was that if it were a real up to date Verizon page they wouldn't be so stupid as to put their retired logo. It's like AT&T creating their page with the bell logo. ( now that logo was classy!)
I'm guessing it's fake. That isn't the Verizon logo. They moved away from that logo 9 months to a year ago months ago.
Someone tried to make a crafty hoax but didn't do their homework.
Cantor Fitzgerald's Squali has a $51 per share target for the entire company, whose stock declined 66 cents, or nearly 1.8%, to $36.51 on Friday. He attributes $33 per share to the Alibaba stake, $7 per share to Yahoo! Japan and a comparably measly $4 per share to the core business. Bundled up in the valuation is $1 per share for Yahoo!'s real estate and $6 per share for cash and investments.
A bidding war would be spectacular!
Just read an article about support for the 10billion valuation that Yahoo is seaking (more than the popular 6-8billion valuations)

Verizon is not especially interested in Yahoo's massive stakes in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan Corp <4689.T>, which are worth far more than its core internet business, the sources said.
That could leave an opening for a bidder such as Softbank Group (9984.T), Yahoo's partner in Yahoo Japan, which might be able to devise a way to minimize the tax bill that would come with any sale of the Asia investments.
"(Yahoo) is ultimately Verizon’s to lose," said Robert Peck, Internet analyst at SunTrust Robinson Humphrey. "They’re the leading candidate in this effort and can afford to pay the most because of cost synergies and scale."
Other players weighing joint or solo bids are media company Time Inc (TIME.N) and several private equity firms including Blackstone Group LP (BX.N) and KKR & Co LP (KKR.N), according to sources. The owner of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper also said this week it is in talks with potential partners to mount a joint bid.
All depends if the company is broken up by the bids or not. If a company bids on everything and wins then u might just get pps in cash or a combo of cash and bidders stock (ie. 1 share of Verizon and $5 cash for each share of yahoo or what not).
Checked the 6mo chart. The 50ema is heading north and about to cross the 200ema. We're going to get that Golden Cross!
I thought I read somewhere earnings were on the 19th. The bid deadline is the 18th.
OOOR it has to do with the over all economy. Forget that we were a stones throw away from recession. BANKs AREN'T LENDING TO SMALL BUSINESS...

This is fantastic news!
I'm worried that Yahoo releases earnings the day after the bid deadline. I am assuming that since the financials were released in the Bid packages that any negatives are already priced in.
Ummm. I was hoping not to have to explain basic finance today but fine.
It's simple really... If you pay $14 for the trade and are selling $1.02 worth of stock you are going to give yourself a nice net loss.
fyi... The result that occurs when expenses exceed the income or total revenue produced.
At the point where you have to sell $1.02 worth of stock for $7 you probably should just sit on it and pray. haha
Did someone really just sell $1.02 worth of NHMD into the Bid? Way to go. Probably a $7 commission to buy the $1 of shares, $7 commission to sell the $1 of shares. Genius.
Barrons values Yahoo at $51

$NHMD up 40% today! Ask is super thin. Get in while the gettin is good!

Has anyone heard about what the plan is for the Alibaba stake? Are they going to distribute to shareholders or convert to cash or anything?
The reason I ask is that my parents own a stake in Alibaba already and if Yahoo is going to liquidate I would tell my parents to get out now so the flood of shares doesn't dilute theirs.
Any info or thoughts would be appreciated.
$NHMD up 70% on the day. Ask is super thin. Get in while you can!!
$NHMD up 70%. Ask is crazy thin. This one going higher!!
So now that Yahoo changed terms (added another week) you are seeing people bail because they have another week to make money elsewhere (as well as some are worried Yahoo is going to cock this up as they do everything). This in turn drives down the average price for the past however long. This in turn allows companies to compensate less when shares are offered/exchanged etc. I think Yahoo is run by children. My only hope is that it brings additional bidders.
A source told CNBC it's unclear who the other bidders could be, but Bloomberg names suitors such as Time Inc., private equity funds like Bain and TPG, and Alphabet's Google.
LET THE BIDDING WAR BEGIN!
Verizon Communications Inc. plans to make a first-round bid for Yahoo Inc.’s Web business next week, and is willing to acquire the company’s Yahoo Japan Corp. stake to help sweeten the offer, according to people familiar with the matter.
Verizon and its subsidiary AOL Inc. are working with at least three financial advisers on the Yahoo bid, said three of the people. Hiring so many banks is a sign that Verizon is serious about its takeover plans -- it has said since late last year that it was interested in buying some or all of Yahoo.
Time Inc. is still evaluating a bid, while private equity funds Bain and TPG -- among others -- are also planning to make a run at the business, either alone or by backing a strategic acquirer, the people said.
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-07/verizon-said-to-proceed-with-yahoo-bid-as-google-weighs-offer
Verizon is going to bid. That is great news!
I heard the other week on Bloomberg that Yahoo assets consist of $30/share in Alibaba and about $4 cash. That is pretty much the share price right there. On top of that there is the main yahoo business, real estate, 10% stake in Yahoo Japan, etc etc.
Lets get Starboard in there and take over the board. Then we can start dividing this mess up into parts to sell off to other companies to run or turn around. This could be huge!

Ask was thin all day Thurs. I can understand ppl selling off at the end of Thurs into the long weekend. Happens all the time.
Considering there's a buyer on all the transactions.... it's 39.14 million bought and establishing a great base for the next run!

FRBK looks like it decisively broke through the 4.11-4.15 resistance level and should be trading in an upward trajectory for a bit using the 4.15-4.20 level as a floor. When this stock moves it will have a good run and should add another dollar to the price tag!
17 Branch Bank with 7 more in the works. This Bank is growing fast and pulling in all the old loyal Commerce Bank customers who got hosed when it was sold. Currently operating in Mr. Hills wheel house pulling in the loyalists. Big things to come for this Bank!
