Yahoos Largest Stockholder Buys More

• CWI increased their stake right before Microsofts bid, when Yahoos stock was at the lowest point YTD (Jan 30-31), because they saw Yahoo as undervalued.
• CWI bought up new shares between the offer and the rejection (Feb 1-9), when stock prices skyrocketed. (And they continue to hold them because they have . . . sentimental value. Yeah.)
• CWI is holding nearly twice as much stock because they think that Yahoo should take the offer and want to have a controlling interest in the event of a hostile take over.
• CWI is holding nearly twice as much stock because they want Yahoo to remain independent and are trying to help them out with cash.
• Or is this just a move by Staceys sugar daddy, Carter Waltham III, to keep controlling her (and if it comes to a hostile takeover, he just wants to have the final say)?

Obviously, no matter what their timing and motivations, CWI rated Yahoo a buy last quarter. What do you think the most likely scenario is?
