Except even if you managed to acquire all those companies, all their key leaders would leave Yahoo in a year to do their own thing. I mean, do you really think the New York Times staff wants to work for Yahoo! News? Or that Jack Dorsey wants to work for Yahoo! Mobile? Yahoo can't buy their way out of this mess, IMHO.

Ah, yes. The guy who doesn't understand the difference between market cap and cash on hand. It'd be awesome to have him as your boss, so you could witness first hand what it looks like when incompetent leadership takes a company from $12.50 per share to $0.
