I have been going thru Yahoo's ( http://www.peopleandpicks.com/ticker/YHOO ) Quarterly reports and the 2010 Annual report. Microsoft (MSFT Zacks Rank 3 - HOLD), in addition to monies Yahoo, (YHOO Zacks Rank 3 - HOLD), can earn from Microsoft as part of it's "Search Agreement", Microsoft, (http://www.peopleandpicks.com/ticker/MSFT) is picking up the tab for millions of dollars in expenses. Based on my own analysis, Yahoo has the potential to beat analyst expectations of 24c by 10 to 13%. I therefore expect Yahoo to SURPRISE to the upside when it reports after today's closing bell.around 4:05 PM with a conference call to follow at 5:00 PM EST.  . In addition, per the 2010 Annual report, Yahoo had a poison pill anti takeover provision that was going to be allowed to expire early in 2011. Also per the 2010 Annual report: Yahoo net income for the 2008 year end included a non-cash gain of $401 million, net of tax, related to Alibaba Group's initial public offering of Alibaba.com Limited.


I view that Mr. Market has substantially undervalued Yahoo assets ... with my intrinsic value estimate of Yahoo about $24 per share.


  Like Mr. Harvey used to say, " And now, the rest of the story." 


   ... more to follow ....

It doesn't matter how good, or great, your analysis is ... if "Mr. Market" decides to bail ... we're all toast. Take Yahoo as an example, Yahoo (YHOO) is not just an earnings play, it is also a play on ( 1) Yahoo's 35% ownership in "Yahoo Japan" worth an estimated $6 plus BILLION USD alone, and also ( 2) a play on Yahoo's ownership in "Alibaba.com" worth what ... another 8 to 10 BILLION USD, or more, Meaning the Yahoo America, and Yahoo Europe and Africa ... are priced in as "FREE" ??

The third opportunity for a "pop" in Yahoo's stock price rests with actions that may include the possibility of a proxy fight from activist Yahoo investor Daniel Loeb ... and who knows what "else" might be in the works.

The question, of course, is will any action force Mr. Markets to change his (HER) current feelings of indifference towards Yahoo?
