This could be a very interesting week on wall street and clearly one that could change the face of business moving forward….

It is hard to quantify what happend in the last 2 weeks in the market, 7 trillion in losses brought forth by fear and panic.

For companies with good capital bases, not directly tied into the craziness this could be the ulitmate opportunity to grow biz or eliminate competiton. When you have rumors of gm and ford coming together, clearly any possible mergers probably could be thought up…the yahoo deal I think will be tough to push thru as Carl Icaan I believe is above 24+ on his cost per share basis and he maintains 2 board seats…

The one key variable I think astute biz owners and domainers should recognize is the need to have more control over there biz, diversify portfolios and have some cash on hand for the rainy days.

Nice post – with many Company’s going broke this merger could benefit both yahoo and microsoft if a deal is agreed upon.

If yahoo and microsoft so called join forces that would not be good for domain name owners since microsoft would be able to install the default yahoo search engine browser into their ms operating system.

Another big rumor is that Microsoft will buy Research in Motion (RIMM) makers of the Blackberry.

I think you are likely to see some m & a activity brewing next week, Companies valuations cut in half from irrational selling are going to look very attractive to companies that are not directly exposed to the credit squeeze and have acute mgt that can look 30 days out and not jump off the cliff like so many ceo’s are threatening.
