Belief is a powerful thing in this valley of hopes and dreams. Yahoo's board is set to reject Microsoft's offer to buy the company at $31 a share. Instead, Jerry Yang and Yahoo's other directors are seeking at least $40 a share, or nearly $60 billion -- a price Microsoft may not be willing to pay. This is incredibly gutsy. It may wreck the hopes of a deal. And yet it may save the company.

No other bidders have publicly emerged. Microsoft could walk, leaving shareholders in the lurch -- and Yahoo's board of directors exposed to legal repercussions.

i just read on techcrunch that MSFT has dropped around 38B in value since they announced their bid for Yahoo!.
That essentially means it is going to cost 80B to buy Yahoo! (40B price + 40B in value drop) ....
