Didn't Microsoft extend a $40+B (however hostile) bid a decade ago or so? I'm still at a loss as to why Jang et al didn't sell then...

- skinnymuch 9y agoJust going to mostly reiterate a previous comment - Jerry Yang, the most competent higher up at Yahoo for the past decade and a half, is the one who said no to the buy out. And rightfully so. The Alibaba and Yahoo Japan stakes would be worth around $80B today if I'm not mistaken. Unfortunately the board and some activist investors first kicked Jerry out and then continued on with selling almost half of the Alibaba stake.
