Kara,

No doubt rumors will run rampant, but given that you broke the story a few weeks ago that Jerry said ” we’ve done most of what set out to do, if not all, of what we’ve set out to do this year”, the real question is why does Jerry still have a job? He has been a complete disaster. If you look at the few times during Jerry’s tenure that YHOO stock increased:

1) When MSFT made the initial offer ( Jerry was against that);

2) When Ballmer slipped a few weeks ago and said that YHOO was still econimically viable ( Jerry was against that);

3)When the Google partnership fell apart ( Jerry was for that).

In short, everything Jerry advocated has been directly opposite of the stocks increase. He is a failure and needs to go.
