At one point stock option was at 2.50$ (at which point the option was up 8.200%). * 1.000$ investment at 5.900% jump becomes 60.000$ * 1.000$ investment at 8.200% jump becomes 83.000$

Yahoo news that created such reaction. --------------- Microsoft offers $44.6bn for YahooBy Richard Waters in San Francisco and Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson in London Friday Feb 1 2008 21:50 Microsoft made a dramatic attempt to stifle Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) 's growing dominance of the internet by going public on Friday with an unsolicited $44.6bn bid for Yahoo. Even though it represented a 62 per cent premium to Yahoo's closing share price the day before, industry executives and analysts said the approach was likely to be only the opening shot in a scramble for control of one of the few large online media and advertising companies. The cash-and-stock offer, worth $31 a share, is far below what Microsoft was prepared to pay a year ago, according to one person familiar with the situation, which suggests Microsoft may be willing to pay more to win over Yahoo's board. At that stage, before a deterioration in its business hit Yahoo's share price, Microsoft was prepared to offer up to $43 a share, the person said, although someone else close to the situation denied it. us.ft.com/
