"Sixty-six per cent of shareholders rejected the proposal..."

It would be interesting to find out if this was 66% of shareholders, or 66% of voting stock... which is NOT the same as 66% of shareholders.

Eh?

I didn't understand why the shareholders voted in favour of the board if Yahoo isn't doing as well as Google?

Surely the performance factor affects their share prices?
