Micro-Hoo (Microsoft + Yahoo) is dead and no one cares

By Jim Cramer

Bio & Blog

Like a dinner guest that overstays his welcome, the Microsoft (MSFT) takeover attempt for Yahoo (YHOO) has the business world turning to its collective husband and saying, "get them out of here I want to go to bed!." My well placed agents tell me that big news is coming out this week. Lesser journalists and stock-pickers are wondering: Will MSFT raise its price? Will Yahoo do a deal with AOL? Will MSFT go hostile? Will Paris Hilton get married? I think I can speak for the intelligent segment of America when I say, no one cares anymore.

Sure there were a lot of trades to be made from the MSFT/YHOO situation but at this point the drama has made Cramer lose interest. However, this final bit of news is a last chance to listen up and make some money.  While everyone is waiting for Tuesday when MSFT will announce its decision, Cramer is here to tell you, his loyal fans, that MSFT will walk away. I'm making the call now -- sell YHOO and buy MSFT, and heck just for the heck of it buy some GOOG as Google benefits from everything that isn't nailed down.

This ending is best for everyone. Yahoo can continue getting its butt-kicked by Google, MSFT can continue its slow and painful embrace of the internet, and Paris Hilton can go on embarrassing America.
