Their Market Cap is almost $60B. $80B is with a 33% premium. Somewhat high, but not extraordinary.

I'd say it's worth even more, but apparently you's have a Google bias that prevents you from seeing so.

I'm no expert but yahoo finance states that Yahoo's Market Capital is 59 billion

They aren't monopolizing anything. There are about a bazillion other search engines out there. I'm sure you could think of about a dozen off the top of your head.

Capitalization, meaning the total value of all their outstanding stock.

$60 billion market capital, #1 search engine, #1 in traffic... but $80 billion is a generous offer imo.

Yahoo currently has a market value of $60 billion. A $20 billion premium over that is reasonable for a takeover like this.

exactly...

I guess some people do not understand exactly how powerful the world wide presence of Yahoo really is.. Yahoo has such a world wide presence, with investments from abroad, not only the US..

If this rumor were true, this would give Microsoft the power to not only control the operating system arena, but have substantial power, over Google and whatever Google decides to take over
