Google Benefits as Microsoft and Yahoo Fail to Unite

Shares of Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) closed down 15% at just above $24, after Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) withdrew its takeover offer. The wisdom of the crowd, as expressed in venture capitalist and blogger Fred Wilson’s pre-market online poll suggested a close of $22. Microsoft closed about unchanged, reflecting the view reported by the Wall Street Journal’s Marketbeat blog that the collapse of the deal was even worse for Yahoo than Microsoft. Still, Yahoo is up around 25% from when the first offer was made, while Microsoft is down slightly and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is laughing all the way to the bank. The question now is whether Yahoo can retain that gain.
