So I have a question... I have an extremely paltry amount of Yahoo stock (5 shares) that I bought on a whim in 2014. This is the only investing I've done outsi

  Speak to a professional, not randos on the internet, if it really worries you. Its current worth is about 5*$30.63 ~= Not much. So best advice is to sit on it and do nothing... and when you're bored, go to www.investopedia.com and read up about how stock markets work - it will come in useful in future!

  My free advice: nothing.

  5 shares? Probably nothing, just let it ride. You'd probably drop $150 on a dinner or two. If you had 5000 shares I'd probably say the same thing -- this was already priced into the stock and almost all of the value in the stock is the Alibaba holding. If the stock is up from when you bought it, maybe I'd say take some profit off the table, but honestly a sale of Yahoo's web business would probably increase the value, but who knows. I personally don't invest in tech stocks because they're too volatile. :)

  Sell a few of them and buy a copy of this: http://amzn.to/1PjrGpY http://amzn.to/1PjrGpY Or skip that and just stick to index funds in the future. Also, check your 401K and make sure the expense ratio is low compared to something like a Vanguard index fund. If not, make some noise.
