Yahoo is way under valued. Yahoo was considering selling its stakes in Yahoo Japan and Alibaba Group for $17 billion. Yahoo's current market cap is $19 billion PLUS $2 billion cash. Does that somehow make the value of its U.S. assets negative?

The problem is people don't invest in the present but invest solely based on the perception of the company's future.
What value that Yahoo chooses to assign to its own divisions is kind of besides the point.
Those are not divisions, they are shares in entirely separate, publicly traded companies. The valuation is market valuation -- not a number made up by Yahoo.
