Seriously, is Michael Arrington being paid to trash Yahoo? Yahoo stock price may be low, but how does that affect the company itself? TechCrunch posts news like it's trying to force Yahoo to collapse.

And seriously who wants a Microsoft Yahoo merger apart from Michael Arrington? Should so much power be concentrated?

It's STOCK! The company already made the money from the stock sale, whatever price outside traders want to bet on is not relevant. I think I'll be buying some Yahoo stock actually.

Well I would assume it affects the company because employees have no reason to stay until their stock options vest because their options are worthless now.

Also, the executives of a company care about the stock price, because if it goes too low, the investors will call for their heads. This pressure can make the executives do things like reduce expenditures and headcounts.
