Who Has Stolen the Old Jerry Yang? (But No Need to Return Him!)
Could the new and improved Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang actually manage to beat back the proxy fight being waged against him by activist investor Carl Icahn?
It increasingly looks that way, with only 12 days to go until Yahoo’s annual meeting on August 1.
But exactly which Yang will be running Yahoo, if he does win, is probably the most important question shareholders need to ask.
Would that be the seemingly energetic Yang of the past two weeks, invigorated by the battle with Icahn and his new best friend and Yahoo foe, Microsoft?
Or will it be the other Yang?
