Oh! so you would advice google to use debt financing to buy a company of Yahoo's size? gr8.. now you are the one who is brave.
on the other hand MS might partly do it.. though they have the cash...
btw even if goog had the cash it wont make any move, bcos of the obvious monopoly issues (which even popped up in their doubleclick deal).

You dont need to be brave to predict the death of a company. A little common sense, familiarity with market situations, and the attitude of the company put together gives you various clues.
and sorry I'm not brave or smart enough to comment when or whether being brave and smart is mutually exclusive.
btw I'm no economist, so I can be rather crude in my predictions as it is not going to have any effect.

No.
But If I tell you that I'll pay you 100 rupees for your computer (which no other person is interested in buying) worth 105 rupees, and if you ask me for 120 rupees, then you are greedy.
IMO yahoo is just haggling and seeing if MS would raise its bid.. but it cannot last long.. yahoo's share price is pointing towards south but not as steep as MS expected it to when they sent the second letter...
p.s. personally I would like to see the deal getting through so that there might be some real alternative to adsense
but I love my yahoo mail though I'm completely moving to gmail now
