Integrating MSFT's MSN and Yahoo, if it is to be, would not be a cakewalk. That thought may scuttle the deal.
In any case, I used the opportunity to unload the 200 shares of YHOO that I had in my IRA. A six week investment that was a paper loss yesterday is a 10+% gain today. The rumor of MSN+YHOO is a gift I will accept.
