May 18, 2008 by Douglas A. McIntyreIt look like Carl Icahn and his friends and fellow institutions may be about to make some real money on Yahoo! (YHOO) stock. They probably bought in at $25. They may get $31 to $33 a ahare and soon.
Microsoft (MSFT) is in talks with Yahoo! again. According to the AP "Microsoft Corp. says it is talking to Yahoo Inc. about a transaction that won’t involve a full buyout." Whatever that deal is, there a a real chance that it will involve Redmond either putting money into the portal company or taking on its search function which would allow Yahoo! to save several hundred billions a year.
Microsoft could also use Yahoo!’s search product with an option to buy the entire company at some point in the future.
