How does a stock buyout will affect my stock holding?
I have 117 shares of Yahoo where on earth I bought at $42 over 2 years ago, as of yesterday it was worth a short time ago $18 per share. Today Microsoft announced Yahoo takeover bid and offered $31 per share for Yahoo. So the question is what will happen to my Yahoo shares when the contract is approved by DOJ? Do I automatically get a brass out in my trade description at $31 per share or will I get Microsoft shares?Answers: if the concord does go through, you will enjoy the chance to any get 31 a share or .95 shares of msft for every share of yahoo.
presently you have to prefer if you converted your share to msft stock and immediatly liquidate them if it will be higher after 31
either course your looking at a loss which can be written off (3000$ worth of investment losses can be written bad everyyear against capital gains)
I follow that you will have a choice of accepting the change or around .95 shares of microsoft stock per share of yahoo instead. Sounds like you are looking at a long occupancy loss.

Why did G00GLEs stocks drop soo much?
what cause G00GLE's stocks to drop by almost 50 points today?Answers: 1. G00GLE's sale and profit growth are slowing
2. if Microsoft buys Yahoo, competition will increase for those advertising dollars that hold G00GLE going.
they didn't meet expectation of wall st.
also the yahoo! soft report triggers it to drop more too.
However, I also own G00GLE stock and I am actually not worried and I am fairly happy. To me this is over recoil of the market, I am hoping it go lower so I can buy MORE!
Microsoft is attempting to buy Yahoo so G00GLE now have a formidable challenger.
