Yahoo is fighting back

So, Yahoo rejected the buyout by MSFT.Â Interesting.Â Very intrigued to see what happens to the Yahoo stock on Monday morning on the trading room floor. Will shareholders start selling their stock, or perhaps will another company (Google perhaps) make a higher bid?Â Or even if Microsoft comes back in with another higher bid, that should be interesting.Â Glad I purchased a few shares when I did. This could get interesting.

On another note, there is about to be spin-off created in TimeWarner.Â They’re about to create a new separate company for their AOL counterpart. So, according to the book I just read on investing,Â this is an excellent investment opportunity. I don’t have the extra capital to invest, but if I did I would buy a few shares of Timewarner and also AOL once it spins off into a new company. The idea behind investing in a spin-off company, is that the whole reasoning behind the spin-off is to better support the main purpose of that organization. By focusing more heavily on it, and not having to dilute focus on it to other counterparts of the business, profitability will inevitably skyrocket.
