It's been over a year since talks of a planned merger between Yahoo and Microsoft began. Now that Yahoo has a new CEO, could a buyout be in the works yet again?
It wouldn't definitely give Google a run for its money!

There's a lot of speculation from industry people about this. They're saying it's likely that it WOULD happen.

Yahoo's new CEO has gone on record saying that that is not an option she's considering at the moment.

Hot of the press!!! According to a news report, Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer re-stated his interest in landing a search deal with Yahoo.

And to add to the last comment, Yahoo's CFO was quoted yesterday saying that Yahoo would be willing to listen to any proposals which "would maximise the value of the business, be it a partnership or sale in the long term.'' But I don't think he mentioned Microsoft directly.

Carol Bartz (CEO) did say yesterday that she'd be open to having "talks" with Microsoft. But unlike last time, it would behind closed doors (especially not with media intervention).

And today comes word that a judge has approved changes to Yahoo's severance plan that could make a buyout by Microsoft easier.

Microsoft has more to gain from this.

One analyst today said that a partnership with Microsoft would "be very positive for Yahoo," because Yahoo's "scale and sales" make a good match for Microsoft's "technology expertise and deep pockets."

Bartz probably doesn't want to sell Yahoo because she wants to use Yahoo's search position to reinvent the online advertising industry, and in the process restore Yahoo's credibility.

I'd like to add that one analyst said today that the relative financial results of Yahoo and of Microsoft's online-services business gives Microsoft a bad bargaining position.

Interesting how merger and acquisition talk has taken a back seat lately - to survival. Yahoo has held relatively strong compared to a lot of other stocks, 52 week range: $8.94 - $24.80
