Yahoo Stock went up eight points today as reports from the Wall Street Journal indicated that Johnathan Miller, a former AOL Chief exec, is looking to put together a team of private investors interested in buying Yahoo.

Who is he? Johnathan Miller heads Velocity Interactive, which is a successful venture capital company. He is, as noted above, also a former executive of AOL. Miller is reportedly looking at a deal of between twenty to twenty-two dollars a share. No one seems to have knowledge of whether Miller’s investment team will be looking to by all or simply a part of Yahoo is not known.

At any rate, Yahoo shareholders could certainly use some good news, so let’s hope this brings some very fruitful results for the struggling web company.
