Microsoft Corp. has pounced on slumping Internet icon Yahoo Inc. with an unsolicited takeover offer of $44.6 billion in its boldest bid yet to challenge Google Inc.'s dominance of the lucrative online search and advertising markets.
The surprise offer of $31 per share, made late Thursday and announced Friday, comes with Sunnyvale-based Yahoo in a vulnerable position.
In a statement Friday, Yahoo said it will "carefully and promptly" study Microsoft's bid.
With its profits steadily sliding, Yahoo's stock slipped to a four-year low earlier this week and a new management team has been trying to steer a turnaround but sees more turbulence through 2008.
The announcement sent Yahoo's share price up 60 percent in premarket trading, while Google fell 8 percent, weighted down by a fourth-quarter earnings report that missed Wall Street expectations.

On Tuesday's show Cramer gave out 5 rules for investing in the stock market. His first rule is that there is a market for everything, including the stocks themselves. He said an example was how ethanol stocks were very hot about a year ago, and then several IPOs came on the market, so there was an oversupply of ethanol stocks on the market and the entire sector went down. So the ethanol business and news didn't matter because there were too many ethanol stocks available. Cramer said another example was his recommendation of Sealy (ZZ) at its IPO where he liked the stock, but didn't realize that there was a glut of IPOs, so the IPO market was saturated and the stock tanked.
Cramer took soma calls. The first caller asked how you can know whether an IPO is a good investment or not, and Cramer said that the key is the offering price for the shares. Another caller asked if there are any sectors that Wall Street overlooks, and Cramer said that you should look for a sector that used to have 10 analysts and only has 1 or 2 now and consider that sector for a turnaround. The next caller asked about the Vonage (VG) IPO, and Cramer said that this IPO was overhyped and that they should not have let the company sell stock to its customers.
Cramer's second rule is to know what you own. Sectors don't always matter since stocks within a sector can rally without others. Industries within a sector are the key to rallies, not the sector itself. An example occurred a couple years ago when he called for a tech rally and recommended Cisco (CSCO) and Microsoft (MSFT) because they were the big tech stocks, and he should have been thinking more specifically about the gadget industry within tech, since stocks like Apple (AAPL) were up big. He also said that he wants you to do at least 1 hour of homework each week for each stock you own. He thinks you should give your money to a mutual fund if you don't have enough time.
A caller asked why you don't see big rallies in the biotech sector, and Cramer explained that biotech stocks are moved by FDA rulings, not broader industry moves. The next caller asked how to find the pin action within a sector that Cramer talks about, and he used an example where Boeing (BA) reported a great quarter, and you should look to see who makes the components of the planes they make, since their sales will rise with Boeing's. The next caller asked how to predict performance if a sector is split, like Internet search with Yahoo! (YHOO) and Google (GOOG), and Cramer said that you need to look at management and other company specific factors in that case.
Cramer's third rule is that Latin America should always be treated as a shorter term trade since Wall Street has preconceived notions about the region that prevent it from being a long term investment, and they are the ones who move the market. You should always take profits as a Latin American stock moves up so you don't get caught when the big investors move out of their trade. A caller asked how important our economy is to Chinese stocks, and Cramer said that he doesn't like to recommend Chinese stocks because he doesn't trust their economy. The other caller asked about stocks like Wal-mart (WMT) and Starbucks (SBUX) that are expanding in China, and Cramer said that Starbucks could be the next Yum! Brands (YUM) which doubled their stock price after they doubled their stores in China.
Cramer's next rule is that being a lemming is ok, but he still wants you to go your homework, but if you agree with the moves that big investors are making, then it's good to go with the momentum.
His last rule was to not be afraid to say that something is too difficult to invest or trade on. His example is restaurant same store sales, which he has been crushed on in the past since there are so many factors that contribute to the number and the reaction. He said you aren't being weak, but smart by focusing your time someplace where you can make money.

The Dow finished 66 points into positive territory and the Nasdaq closed up 18 points. The technology sector and retail industry is getting a lot of attention as the holiday season is fast approaching. Technology stocks rebounded Friday after the worst week for the Nasdaq since April 2002. Najarian said this week was not that bad for technology. He highlighted Apple (AAPL), which started the week at $165 and finished the week at $165. Cisco Systems and Oracle (ORCL) both enjoyed a great week as well. Najarian suggested that as soon as Research in Motion (RIMM) hits China the stock will make a huge move.
Jim Goldman joined the show crew to discuss his take on Google entering the wireless space. Goldman says Google (GOOG) is going to make a play for the 700mhz spectrum being auctioned off by the FCC in January. Goldman speculates that this network could be worth $4.5 billion.
Henry Blodget caused speculation on Friday after posting on his blog that Microsoft (MSFT) should buy Yahoo! (YHOO) to gain market share in internet search. Finerman doesn't think the idea is outrageous. Macke also feels that Microsoft has plenty of cash to make the deal.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and GameStop (GME) will report earnings next week. Adami loves Hewlett-Packard, but he is worried that expectations might be too high. The rest of the crew more or less agreed.
Najarian says look at the strong stock performance in companies that sell merchandise at Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) like Under Armour (UA), Crocs (CROX), Nike (NKE) and Calloway (ELY). Macke agrees and said he would buy Dick's right now.

FedEx's (FDX) lowered full-year outlook may be predicting an economic slowdown. Macke says FedEx is a legitimate economic indicator especially for the health of the consumer.
Consumer staples like Coca-Cola (KO), Altria (MO), Colgate (CL) and Procter & Gamble (PG) continue to show strength in a weak market. Adami favors Unilever (UL) at its 52-week high and is cheaper then Procter on valuation. Najarian likes Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) which Warren Buffett owns and Merck (MRK).
Crude oil closed at $95 as traders make another attempt at $100. Adami thinks crude is toppy, but Tesoro (TSO) is worth looking at in the mid-$50's. Najarian would prefer a solar stock play.

Auto Stocks
General Motors (GM) is set to report earnings Wednesday morning before the bell and Ford Motor (F) is set to report earnings on Friday before the bell. Adami likes Ford Motor. General Motors traded down 3% after hours on news that the company will take a $39 billion non-cash charge on financial assets in the mortgage arm. Macke says that Toyota Motor (TM), Honda Motor (HMC) and Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) all lose from the continued improvements at Ford and General Motors.
Financials: Macke says we saw a counter trend rally on Tuesday and everything worked accept Citigroup (C) and the retailers. Goldman Sachs (GS) denies write-down speculation for the fourth time on Tuesday.
Google (GOOG) continues to surprise investors with news like the recent entry into the mobile handset market. Najarian thinks the trade is Focus Media Holding (FMCN), which is a China play that sells advertising space on mobile handsets.

Bryant says the company saw the highest quarter-to-quarter revenue growth in 10 years. Adami favors Dell (DELL) off this worldwide demand. Macke suggests getting into Microsoft (MSFT).

Adami says IBM (IBM) fell short a bit on gross margins and hardware revenue in other tech earnings.

Banking: Najarian noticed some unusual options activity in some regional banks on Tuesday. He saw heavy trading in PNC Bank (PNC) options.

Yahoo Inc. said Tuesday its third quarter net income was $151 million, or 11 cents a share, down slightly from $159 million, also 11 cents a share, in the same period last year.
Sunnyvale-based Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO - News) reported $1.77 billion in revenue, a 12 percent increase over the year-ago quarter's $1.58 billion.
Excluding items -- among them $145 million in stock-based compensation expense -- the company's income would have been $238 million, or 17 cents a share, compared with $240 million, or 17 cents a share, in the year-ago quarter.

Analyst expected, on average, earnings of 8 cents a share on $1.24 billion in revenue.
"Over the past three months, we conducted a thorough review of our business and the marketplace," said Yang.

Citigroup (C) brought back fears of credit problems. Citigroup reported a 57% decline in profits. Finerman: not surprised at the report. Macke: no reason to be long Citigroup. Adami: $45 is still the exit on the stop out for the Citigroup trade. Najarian pointed out E*Trade (ETFC) and Knight Capital (NITE), which are reporting earnings on Wednesday.
Louise Yamada, who has been ranked the #1 technical analyst on Wall Street, joined the show to discuss the stock market. She likes Broadcom (BRCM). The charts tell her that technology is the best place to be right now. Najarian thinks Broadcom looks great because it was tearing higher in a negative tape on Monday. He also thinks that the market is starting to digest the fact that oil at $85 is probably not a great thing. He highlighted the strength in Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Oil Service HOLDRs (OIH). He also advised investors to keep an eye on coal stocks like Peabody Energy (BTU) and Massey Energy (MEE).
Technology: IBM (IBM), Yahoo! (YHOO) and Intel (INTC) are set to report earnings after the bell Tuesday. Macke: IBM will be the least surprising. Najarian: IBM options are pricing in a big move.

Genentech (DNA) beat earnings estimates, but revenues fell short of Wall Street estimates. The former CEO of Children's Place (PLCE) has hired Bear Stearns to look at alternative options for the company. Macke would rather play Build-A-Bear Workshop (BBW) for a takeover play.

ValueClick (VCLK): Cramer said belongs to the same family of stocks as DoubleClick (DCLK), which Google (GOOG) is buying, and aQuantive, which Microsoft (MSFT) bought earlier this year. He was right about aQuantive and he believes he will be right about ValueClick. Microsoft might make this defensive acquisition of ValueClick, or there's a possibility Yahoo! (YHOO) could pick it up.
Jakks Pacific (JAKK), which has a lot of great toys, is that stock, he said. People should want this stock for its Hannah Montana, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pokemon figurines. Cramer says is "irresistible," and could be bought as a trade or investment. It is trading at its growth rate and at "a big discount" to Hasbro (HAS) and Mattel.
On the Defensive Line
New York Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan joined Cramer in the studio to tackle finance together. Strahan told Cramer he is very conservative and realistic about investing. Strahan also owns one stock, Under Armour (UA), which he said he got into during the company's IPO. Since buying Under Armour, Strahan said, his costs have been covered and he is operating on profits.
Mad Mail
Caterpillar (CAT): has substantial international exposure and is not a hostage of the U.S. GDP. This is part of the reason he likes Caterpillar so much. He owns it for his Action Alerts PLUS charitable trust.
