As an advertising executive, I personally met with representatives from Google yesterday to discuss this deal. Their presentation can be found here: http://www.google.com/yahoogooglefacts/
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't understand the industry or the deal who are commenting on it. Read the presentation and form your own opinion.
But I'll tell you that the folks at Google made it pretty clear that there is absolutely no legal basis to stopping this bill, and that they don't really need any regulatory approval at all. It's going to happen.

Wow, great find.
Can anyone explain to me why this dud keeps going up when it should pay short November first? Did I misread the proposition and I'm holding it short for all the wrong reasons?
Thanks,

It's been going down steadily for the past 10 days or so.
If your question is why is it still so high, well then that's an old question. A much better question would be how is HADRON so high.
HADRON is probobly really high as it was proposed about a year ago, and a lot of people place their money in the stock, and never come back to the website.
This explains why it was at 90, but suddenly dropped to 80, and is slowly going down. People who originally bought stock anywhere between 1 to 12 months ago already lost interest in the PPX and left. I'm guessing only a small percentage account for speculators on that prop.

I guess Google re-evaluated the need for regulatory approval.
They've scrapped the advertising plan with Yahoo to avoid a legal confrontation with the U.S. Justice department.
Still, I was holding it the right way when it closed, so I'm glad they waited a couple of extra days to announce it.

Yesterday I log in to find quite a lot of cash, and finally got up over the 90% tile. Thanks!
