Yahoo buying AOL or AOL buying Yahoo?

• yurylifshits 16y ago
  I think, neither of that. It's more like Alibaba and Softbank are buying out Yahoo's Asian assets, then private equity firms take over the rest of Yahoo. After that they can merge it with something else or leave it alone. Btw, a day ago YHOO was 14.58, today in after hours it was as high as 16.91. (I am at Yahoo but have no insider information - this is just how I understand the press. Can be completely wrong.)

  The latter amazingly. The smaller fish will swallow the bigger one. But, of course they will do it with private capital money so, in the end those private equity firms will own a big chunk of the resulting AOL.
