Yahoo executives need to figure out what is in the best interest of the shareholders and not themselves.  Microsoft’s offer was a 61% premium over the $19 share price the company had before the offer.  The company had a market value of $25 billion before the offer was made.  Even after the offer, Yahoo executives have failed to find someone else to come in as a suitor at that price.  Yahoo’s executives need to realize they are overvaluing the company, instead of feeling Microsoft is undervaluing it.
