| schestowitz | "On Wednesday, Bartz said that her gut instinct was not to sell the company's search business to Microsoft, according to a news report. Her comment, made during a meeting with employees, according to Dow Jones newswire, sent Yahoo's shares falling 80 cents, or 6 percent, to $11.61 today." | Jan 16 00:14 |
