Oh dear, poor Yahoo.

If you are a Yahoo shareholder, then brace yourself to lose quite a
hefty chunk of your investment when US stock markets open on Monday. If
you work for Yahoo and have stock options, you will be smarting as well.

And if you work for Yahoo's legal team, you may want to get ready for a
deluge of lawsuits from enraged shareholders, who have seen a 70% boost
to their investment evaporate. There are not many companies in the world
who can both afford to buy Yahoo and possibly get the approval of
competition watchdogs to do so.

Yahoo's top managers, however, will try to fight back, striking a series
of alliances - including with Google, especially on advertising - to
find new revenue streams.
