Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO  ) has rejected Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT  ) buyout offer of $31 a share, and Microsoft has called Yahoo's $40-per-share counteroffer "absurdly high." On paper, Yahoo! sports a $41 billion market capitalization -- chump change next to Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG  ) $163 billion market cap, but five times the market cap of Baidu (Nasdaq: BIDU  ) . And Yahoo!'s market cap still exceeds the market caps of Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN  ) and eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY  ) . But what is Yahoo! really worth? Motley Fool online managing editor LouAnn DiCosmo goes looking for answers in this installment of "Fool Video."

For more Fool fare:

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Enter your email address below to find out what made Jobs so enraged!
