After the Microsoft/Yahoo showdown that ended in Microsoft walking away from their Yahoo merger, Investor Carl Icahn has made a huge bet that he can purchase enough Yahoo stock to overthrow Yahoo’s board and sell the company to Microsoft while netting himself a huge profit from the stock purchases. Carl Icahn has spent more than $1 billion for his over 4% stake in Yahoo’s stock. Most of Icahn’s stock has been purchased for between $24-$25 a share after the stock dropped when Microsoft walked away from the merger. If he can get control of Yahoo, and broker a deal between it and Microsoft, he has the possibility of profiting from it in the tune of $9-$10 per share he owns.

For the first time in history, national gas prices have hit the average of $4/gallon. With crude oil increasing about $16/barrel in the past two days, it doesn’t look like the gas price increases will be dropping any time soon. Diesel fuel continues to climb as well, creating a huge chunck of inflation in our futures. The increase in diesel fuel which is used by semi-trucks to deliver all the goods consumers use is increasing the costs for everything consumers purchase.

Oil increased over $10.50 a barrel on friday, just after a $5 increase the day before. The two day total of over $15.50 will be seen very shortly at the gas pumps as prices continue to hurt the consumer. The oil turmoil over the high energy costs has fueled high speculation in solar stocks. First Solar (ticker FSLR) has a high this year over $300/share with expected earnings of less than $3/share. Next year it’s earnings are expected around $5.75/share. With price to earnings ratios of $50 - $100/share, you have to wonder if there is a hugh bubble starting to form in the Solar stocks. Will the solar stocks in 2008 be the internet stocks of 2000?

The average national gas prices have cleared the $3.64 a gallon mark and continue to look higher. Gas prices usually follow oil prices and oil hit a record $124 a barrel. Analysts expect the national gas average to hit $4.00 a gallon later this summer as their looks to be no relief from this in sight. Bullish momentum and the weakening US dollar look to continue the push towards even higher record oil prices.
