seems to me that the price climbing back up to $27 so quickly in the current market makes a pretty good case

YHOO stock closed +0.25% after hours yesterday. I'd say 'holding pattern', at best. Watch the stock plummet should MSFT call the deal off.

And any rumours of a AOL-Yahoo! deal appears to be sooo funny, it's incredible. How in the world could AOL support Yahoo!, and vice versa? AOL is struggling for themselves for a future. Separated from TWX they are nothing more than a "has been" with a couple of million subscribers. (And their mysterious "Platform A" seems to be still a sketch on the drawing board, rather than 'a product'.)
