All User Takes for Yahoo! Inc.

The selection of Carol Bartz as the new CEO of Yahoo is a good move for the company. She will help the company get back on its feet. However, the fact remains that as a stock this company is overvalued. At a best case of 50 cents/share in 2009 this stock is worth no more than $7.50/share.
It may have a short term bounce due to the addition of Bartz. Also, it is possible that Microsoft comes back to the table willing to pay a premium. These are reasons to shy away from shorting YHOO.

I think they will likely get bought by Microsoft -- at least the search business. I have no idea how this impacts the stock because the remainder of Yahoo is worth so much less.
