#4Yahoo has still some good assets. But they are killing them left and right. If Yahoo wants to survive as company, not just as Alibaba stock asset, they need a CEO who understands the entertainment, portal, advertisement and search business - after all that's Yahoo. The dumbest decision was to kill their search engine in 2009. It had the second largest market share back then. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Search ) At least the open sourced Hadoop and Traffic server survived.

#7Is she willing to take $1 pay and get rest of her compensation in stock options that expire 5 years from now?
How much is she willing to invest in Yahoo stock or stock futures by herself?
If I were in the Yahoo board, those would be my first questions. Best way to test her commitment and trust for her own strategy is to see how much she is willing to bet her own money on it.

"Just three more years and it will all be OK!"
This sounds familiar.
