Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Yahoo! Inc. is more likely than ever to be acquired by Microsoft Corp. after Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Jerry Yang said he plans to step down, investors said.
``The strategic necessity here is for this company to merge with Microsoft,'' Larry Haverty, a fund manager at Gamco Investors Inc. in Rye, New York, said in a Bloomberg Television interview. The company manages about $24 billion, including Yahoo shares. ``This is just unmitigated good news for the Yahoo shareholders.''
