On an extremely bright note however, I've mentioned several times that I thought Yahoo was on the auction block and would be bought by another company soon. I firmly believe Jack Ma and Alibaba, along with private equity firm Silver Lake Partners (who recently provided a loan to Alibaba, will purchase Yahoo in the coming month(s). Needless to say, anyone who owns or is considering owning Yahoo will make good money on the stock soon. Below is an excerpt from a speech Jack Ma (the chinese Billionaire) gave this past friday:
We are very interested in Yahoo! because our Alibaba Group is so important to Yahoo! and Yahoo! is also very important to us.... It’s more complicated than we thought, and there are so many people interested in that. We are talking to them, and they are talking to us.... I cross my fingers, just to say, we are very, very interested.
