That's an annual return of 3.2% during a period of time when the S&P500 did 18.9%. That's a pretty shit return if you ask me.

- danso 10y agoThe 10-year chart of Yahoo's stock shows that the company had sunk to a plateau of ~$15/share from 2008 to 2012, after peaking at $31 in 2007. I'm assuming the stock's steep rise post-2012 was related to the anticipate sale of the Alibaba stake: https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/YHOO#eyJtdWx0aUNvbG9yTGluZSI6ZmFsc2UsImJvbGxpbmdlclVwcGVyQ29sb3IiOiIjZTIwMDgxIiwiYm9sbGluZ2VyTG93ZXJDb2xvciI6IiM5NTUyZmYiLCJtZmlMaW5lQ29sb3IiOiIjNDVlM2ZmIiwibWFjZERpdmVyZ2VuY2VDb2xvciI6IiNmZjdiMTIiLCJtYWNkTWFjZENvbG9yIjoiIzc4N2Q4MiIsIm1hY2RTaWduYWxDb2xvciI6IiMwMDAwMDAiLCJyc2lMaW5lQ29sb3IiOiIjZmZiNzAwIiwic3RvY2hLTGluZUNvbG9yIjoiI2ZmYjcwMCIsInN0b2NoRExpbmVDb2xvciI6IiM0NWUzZmYiLCJyYW5nZSI6IjEweSJ9 https://finance.yahoo.com/chart/YHOO#eyJtdWx0aUNvbG9yTGluZSI... Maybe the rest of the market was growing, but it didn't seem like Yahoo sans Alibaba was heading in that direction.
