by that logic when microsoft was trying to buy yahoo a couple of years ago they were getting a huge discount compared to the 2001 high. Microsoft should have really upped the offer.

Microsoft's offer assigned Yahoo's shares at the same value as Microsoft shares. It was a fair and it was questionable for Yahoo not to take it.

On the other side of that coin Microsoft is really lucky that Yahoo didn't take the offer.
