This is going to be an interesting day...
Microsoft Corp. Friday offered to buy Yahoo Inc. for $44.6 billion, a move designed to help both companies compete against industry leader Google Inc.
The approach, in a letter to Yahoo's board, comes as Yahoo continues to struggle against Google in the race for online-advertising revenue and Internet-search market share.
The offer, $31 a share in cash and stock, is a 62% premium to Thursday's closing price. Microsoft said Yahoo holders would be able to trade their shares for cash or 0.9509 Microsoft shares a piece, with no more than half of the overall purchase price paid in cash.
