- $200 Oil: Goldman Calls The Ball: Bad News From Nigeria And Russia
-
Crude has bumped up against $120 several times in the last month. It wants to go higher, and it will. Price was pushed down by the Fed’s action and some improvement in the dollar. Supply data was moderately good. Goldman Sachs are looked at this and has said look for $200 oil. According to Bloomberg, “The possibility of $150-$200 per barrel seems increasingly likely over the next six-24 months, though predicting the ultimate peak in oil prices as well as the remaining duration of the upcycle remains a major uncertainty.” Perhaps it is fair to ask what took them so…

- $200 Oil: Bad News From Nigeria And Russia
-
Crude has bumped up against $120 several times in the last month. It wants to go higher, and it will. Price was pushed down by the Fed’s action and some improvement in the dollar. Supply data was moderately good. Against all of this, the geopolitical factors which move oil up are getting worse, perhaps much worse. In the last several days, there have been more bombings of Royal Dutch Shell facilities in Nigeria, the 8th largest oil producing country. According to Reuters a spokesman for the oil company said “We are mobilising containment booms to stop the spread of oil…

- What Is Yahoo Actually Worth ?
-
Here’s a question worth pondering: What is Yahoo (YHOO) actually worth per share, both today and 3-5 years from now?
I expect Yahoo’s stock will get nicely whacked tomorrow. Does this create an opportunity?
There are many ways to answer this question. The traditional balance sheet approach is so well covered, let me suggest something else.
Microsoft (MSFT) believed Yahoo was worth $33, at least as a part of Microsoft. Wo…

- Fed Opens Yahoo Lending Facility (YLF)
-
When the Microsoft-Yahoo news came out last night, I suggested that "the Fed ought to kick in
the additional $8 billion or so to make this happen." Someone on the the Yahoo message boards of YHOO itself took the idea a step further:>"In response to recent events Federal Reserve Board voted unanimously
to authorize the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to create Yahoo
Lending Facility (YLF) to avoid significant stock market distruption
and to support Yahoo! Inc shares. Yahoo! Inc and its authorized agents
will be able to borrow from the facility to support stock price. …

- Yahoo! & Microsoft Termination To Unleash The Hounds (YHOO, MSFT, GOOG, TWX, IACI)
-
It’s official. At 7:56 PM Saturday night, Steve Ballmer of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) officially threw in the towel in its bid to acquire Yahoo! Inc. (NASDAQ: YHOO). Now that the details are out, the differences were just too wide. Microsoft took its offer up to $33.00. Yang was holding out for $37.00. Unless every bit of media and every bit of research was wrong, Yahoo! had no real second bid that would have generated even a “low-$30’s” share price. In fact, everything we saw in the “new age of liquidity pressures and softer economics” might dictate the shear size of…

- Microsoft abandons bid for Yahoo.

Finally Microsoft (MSFT) stepped back from acquisition discussion with Yahoo (YHOO). The price $37 per share was just too much.Who is winner and who is looser?Microsoft will not have additional complications to fulfill dividends plan to its shareholders. They will be focused on their core software business. But Internet business, it is still lost game for Microsoft.Yahoo continues talks about partnership with Google (GOOG). And maybe there is potential deal with AOL (TWX) or News Corporation (NWS). Definitely Yahoo shares will be under selling pressure on Monday. Last quarter nothing exciting and company is loosing market share against its rival Google….
