MSFT > YHOOInstitutional Investors Affected by Microsofts Bid for YahooI did an interview today with an editor from the E-Commerce Times, who was writing up a piece on how some institutional investors including hedge funds could be hurt by an ongoing battle by Microsoft to take over Yahoo. I never like to talk about individual securities within my hedge fund blog but this case the conversation related more to the realities of some arbitrage investment strategies than anything else. Before you build large positions within two leaders within an industry it is routine to consider any inter-firm or sector risk created by your choice of securities. "Microsoft may have confidence that some number of institutional shareholders with a stake in Yahoo want the bid to succeed but not at a higher pric

Recently Terry S. Semel the former chairman of Yahoo had handed over his role to Roy J. Bostock as a new chairman of the company when on the very first day Roy had to confront a big new development: Microsoft’s $44.6 billion offer to buy the ailing Yahoo.The intense competition between Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo has arguably been one of the main reason why Microsoft would have placed this bid to Yahoo's shareholders.

And its very clear that the only major reason Microsoft is running behind Yahoo is to put up a fight with Google.This deal if goes ahead has far more ramifications then just competing Google. There is considerable amount of overlaps between

Microsoft recently announced that they will be releasing a new browser version sometime this summer. The new browser version was to be released with Longhorn, the code name for their next operating system to replace Windows XP, but they decided that they needed to release it sooner than that.Many think the reason is because Firefox, the new popular browser, has introduced some key features that many surfers have come to expect. This probably has put pressure on Microsoft to respond with a browser with the same specs.One of these key features is tabbed browsing, which allows you to browse to multiple sites using just one window with tabs rather than opening a new window for each page.But tabbed browsing isn't all...I am really excited about the possibility of a new feature that could change the way web-surfers get their content!Although there has been no formal announcement about this, there has been a lot of speculation about the new browser including a built-in RSS reader.An RSS what
