It's a relative risk. Face it Y stock was worthless and at least M has a huge high margin business to rely on unrelated to the internet. Stock was backed by lots of capital and high margins on their main business. It was Y! only real shot at remaining viable imo, likely would have been a debacle though. Nice that the M employees refused to keep silent on what a poor deal this was. I am pleased it didn't go through. Sad that they ended up getting raped by G instead though.
