I wonder how much money Yahoo spend on lobbying and political campaigns. As a citizen I'm not a fan, but the single best thing the company can achieve for its shareholders is giving them access to alibaba shares without a hefty tax bill.

not really. they bought shares that didn't offer dividends. what they SHOULD do is to sell all that now while high and invest back in the business.

with that money they can buy whatever premium content they want, give it free, and get more money back in ads. they can became the broadcast behemoth of the streaming era or whatever. (fun fact, they paid billions for broadcast.com)

yeah, the company will probably burn that money and achieve nothing... but well, sell your shares for something else you believe then.
