"If its not growing, for from many investors, yes, that is a failure." Then those investors should go invest in something else, and quit trying to push a bunch of shortsighted crap on a company.
You understand that "they" in your opinion refers to the people who own yahoo. Why is your opinion more relevant than theirs, precisely?

This is linkbait. There's only one relevant sentence: > in the same press release, the chairman of Yahoo's board announced that the board is going to "engage on qualified strategic proposals" — that is, consider offers to sell the company.

> I see this as propaganda to push the concept that Yahoo has negative value How is it propaganda? YHOO has a current Market Cap of 27.7B with assets including a 25B stake in Alibaba, 8B Stake in Yahoo Japan and ~4B cash. If it wasn't for tax implications of selling their investments, Yahoo's core business clearly holds a negative value. Accounting for tax implications puts it around 0-2B. > There is more to a corpor…
