One of the most important days for Yahoo (YHOO) shareholders is coming. On 1st of August there is an Annual Shareholders meeting which also includes a vote for the new Board. Finally it comes the time where shareholders will be able to decide if they want to elect Icahn’s board or stay with the current Yahoo board. This day definetively will mark the future of the company and the whole strategies behind a possible Microsoft deal.

As I mentioned several times here, Microsoft (MSFT) is constantly losing a lot of money with its online services and if they are really interested to gain the scale necessary to compete with Google, Yahoo is without no doubt the best option for company, is profitable, something that Microsoft knows.

Remember, if there is no deal with Yahoo, Microsoft will need many years to revamp its online services while Google continues to grow, and I don’t think the Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Steve Ballmer is able to lose so much time. Keep in mind : The Deal Isn’t Dead !!! Frankly speaking I also think the Yahoo’s deal failure is priced into the stock at current levels.
