Microsofts $44.6B offer was roughly assets + $20B (a fair pice). The same offer today from Microsofts perspective, would be $65B. That is no increase in cost

Microsofts $44.6B offer was roughly assets + $20B (a fair pice). The same offer today from Microsofts perspective, would be $65B. That is no increase in cost from the previous offer, even though it is numerically higher.
Buying Yahoo today for anything less than $65B would be cheaper than the previous offer.
I was agreeing with you, and my point was that Yahoo is today still an extremely cheap buyout target. Any argument that MM has increased the market value of the US operations (which is the part she actually runs) appears unfounded.
