Wow. That is one hell of a valuation. If Yahoo! were to capitalise on Alibaba IPO'ing and if it's a massive success, then it would provide a nice little buffer of cash for the next few years for Yahoo! to re-establish itself in the web space once more like it currently has been.
An interesting thing about Alibaba is that you never really hear of it in Australia, nor anywhere else, but this silent company is absolutely nailing it.
Exactly! Alibaba is killing it and Yahoo! needs cash. This would definitely go a long way in reestablishing Yahoo!, especially with all those recent acquisitions.
