“I sold my YHOO stake, which I held through my hedge fund last month when it hit $20,” Jackson told Digital Daily. “I still own a small amount personally. I had no idea idea it would fall this much but I finally decided to stop pushing a rope by calling for change from the inside [as a shareholder]. I voted with my feet. This board has the blood of its shareholders on its hands, and I hope they wear that scarlet letter stigma for a long time.”

Asked to comment on Mithras Capital Partners proposal that Yahoo (YHOO) sell itself to Microsoft (MSFT) for $22 a share, Jackson had this to say: “If I was in Redmond, I’d say why not wait a few weeks and pick this company up for a couple of bucks?”
