I see Yahoo being taken by other big internet company any time soon, they wll keep it online for a while and then kaput
who would say?
Most of Yahoo's value currently is because of Alibaba. Yahoo has been wandering in a daze for at least ten years, and its days are probably numbered. I still laugh when I think of Jerry Yang turning down Microsoft's offer of $34/share or whatever it was.
