Share holders buy and sell in the short term.
However, when Yahoo! stock gets bought by MS, it becomes MS stock. MS stock is worth more (I presume,) so the stock rises in value. Even if MS liquidates everything Yahoo! had, the stock remains MS stock. Stock is a share of the company. It isn't tied to any particular assets.
