Ballmer Boosts Yahoo Morale By Mentioning Acquisition Reality

Yahoo stock soared to a high of $13.73 today, a 15% jump over the previous day.
Steve Ballmer burped out today that a Yahoo acquisition would still make sense for both companies, although obviously not for the same price.
The news is big because it would get shareholders out of this mess, relieving them of dealing with an unpredictable and litigious future with Google.
