Almost all of Yahoo's value is in its Alibaba holding.

"Yahoo's actual core business of being Yahoo (and Tumblr and whatever) is worth negative $13 billion"
"Even after deducting 38 percent from the value of [the Alibaba shares] to account for taxes, you get a value for Yahoo's actual business of just $1.7 billion"
- ojbyrne 10y agoActually the part you elide is technically not [the Alibaba shares] but [the Alibaba and Yahoo Japan] shares. But it doesn't really weaken your argument as much as it seems to be, because Yahoo Japan is really separate from Yahoo, despite the name.
