What is ZiiTrend?
Will CEO Jerry Yang be Kicked Out of Yahoo! by Oct 08?

On Aug 5, Yahoo's largest shareholder, Capital Research Global Investors, is calling for a recount of last week's vote reelecting CEO Jerry Yang to the board. Capital, which holds 6.2% of Yahoo's shares, believed other shareholders would follow suit. So fund employees were surprised when less than 15% of shareholders did not vote for Yang, resulting in 85.4% approving his reelection.

Just demanding a recount sends a clear signal to Microsoft that, despite the reelection of Yahoo's board, shareholders still don't approve of Yang's dealings with Microsoft. The CEO position of Yang is very shaky in regardless of the recount.

What do you think his future?

    There is still a week to go. I don't see him getting kicked out of Yahoo.

    IMHO, the merger would neither benefit Microsoft nor Yahoo... many financial experts have said as much. Certain share holders of Yahoo are just looking for Microsoft to pay Yahoo the big bucks to buy them out...

    Yahoo is a sinking ship in some ways, but a merger with Microsoft is not the solution. Yang is in the hot seat, but to be sacked by October is too soon an event to happen.

    I don't see how and why Yang should be kicked out. Yeah, he did screw up the Microsoft acquisition deal, and shareholders should hate him. But that doesn't mean he cannot bring Yahoo further growth.

    I love this topic. I have been wondering if Yang can stay in power for a while. I say he will be replaced.
