Or simply that $40bn in volatile stock that can't be sold for a year is not worth full face value. Which makes a lot of sense if you think about it.

- ucha 12y agoYou could hedge that risk by shorting the BABA stock at the same time you own YHOO. That way, you have no exposure to BABA.
- encoderer 12y agoEven if you're careful to short the same notional value, that's not a pairs trade that I would put on. It would open me to upside risk in BABA if YHOO does not perform as well. Correlations change all the time.
