IMO, I still see YHOO going back over $30. Ballmer is looking very desparate downplaying his need for YHOO (which I'd agree MSFT doesn't). But Ballmer is a CEO with an ego and no matter what he says, he really, REALLY wants YHOO:

Microsoft Proxy Slate For Yahoo Is Ready; Employees Nervous

Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT - News), while publicly posturing that it could walk away form the deal, has lined up its proxy slate of directors in case it comes to that: The list has 10 nominees and three alternates, reports WSJ, citing sources. These include former Nextel Partners CEO John Chapple, former Grey Advertising CEO Edward Meyer, former Overture Services COO Jaynie Studenmund and former Adelphia CFO Vanessa Wittman.




I think the only time I've read about CEO's wanting something so badly yet not following through are those in charge of POS Pink sheet companies. LOL! And many times, they were lying in the first place. Ballmer will get what he wants regardless of what MSFT or YHOO shareholders want.
