From once owning the Interweb to now being a rummage sale.

From buying shitting websites like TUMBLER for $200 M and then being the dominant player in Fantasy Sports to now an annoying email that we can play for money at YAHOO.com.

Even their Snapchat page sucks and is just a bunch of stories that they pay AP for and have no original content.

Microsoft is in the process of lifting up the bodies and asking "How much" and then might offer 20% of that,

The search engine provides me answers from 2008 and the redo of the graphics was such a minimal change that nobody even noticed...or cared.

at least they gave us Mark Cuban, who has succeeded at fuck-all since being given this gift by yahoo. And broadcast.com is a road to nowhere these days:

Yahoo paid $1.1B for Tumblr. Everyone knew it was a waste of cash. Still, their early investment in Alibaba was one of the all time great business decisions. Their stake is worth multiples of the core business.

I don't care. My call option play on Yahoo was one of my best all time trades. I unwound it when Yahoo hit $44/share, not bad for $30 calls bought when Yahoo traded at $23.

Another thing then they had before everyone else....and I remember Yahoo Pool as well. Another THING.

Denis, was that issue on the Alibaba tax ever resolved, as I am aware that was the only noted value left in the company for ...the last 4-5 years? After the Alibab thing, the stock price has fallen based on the remaining operations.
