Erik's claim is indeed very bizarre. Is he out of this world? If someone quits
MSFT, why buy YHOO, which Microsoft wants to grab? Just commission going to
waste...
If YHOO was a smart investment, the stock would keep going up (after the bid).
There are a million other things to invest in, but the Microsoft shills will
spin it any way possible and hope that we're stupid enough to believe it.
