Microsoft Withdraws Yahoo Offer
After Sweetened Bid Is Rejected

Microsoft Corp. said it abandoned its offer for Yahoo Inc., as the two companies failed to bridge a gap between them on price.
Microsoft released a letter from Chief Executive Steve Ballmer to Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang saying that Microsoft had said it was willing to raise its offer to $33 a share for Yahoo, but Yahoo demanded at least $4 per share more.
looks like stevie is calling jerry out, this can't be the final chapter of this book (can it?). will he go back after yhoo drops to pre bid levels as investors unload the truck?

Because the last two weeks were the best two weeks this site has ever seen. Those who can't comprehend her posts shouldn't be this site's target audience anyway. They are the reason the WSJ is what it is today.

due to the lack of pageviews (without having to click the article to view pageviews), this is a petition to stop EP and Muffie (one and the same?) posting. While posts by Bess are idiotic, they are usually fairly amusing, so people read it for fun. Posts by EP and muffie are just awful (if they're not funny, at least make them intelligent). Bring back Carney! Either post something funny (Bess) or insightful (Carney).

So, with all the talk swirling around of banks perhaps 'holding back' a bit on their daily LIBOR fixing submissions, what do you guys think this holds for the fixed income/broader market? Undercutting by 20bps? 50?

Anyone here have their CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) designation? Looking for anything in terms what it's like compared to the CFA and whether it's actually viewed as something important.
Thanks.

How many out of work people are going to fall for this one?
Highly intelligent, resourceful individual with exceptional communication skills needed to provide support for one of Wall Street’s most successful entrepreneurs. Primary responsibilities include coordinating schedule and travel, answering phones, and general office help.
We welcome applications from writers, musicians, artists, or other candidates who may be pursuing other professional goals in the balance of their time. We offer a casual atmosphere in a beautiful space, working as part of an extraordinary group of gifted, interesting individuals.
The salary range is $90-$110K per year (depending on qualifications), with significant upside potential and management possibilities.

Going to be honest ... I was tempted as $90K-$110K doesn't sound so bad for a year while I get my b-school applications together, but apparently this has been going around since 2004
