Who are reuters, forbes, and bloomberg to say? They don't know the market; it's not like rescuing yahoo was actually in any way possible. The site was a finance site, a sports site, and a shitty email server stuck to a link farm.

Not to mention flickr, tumblr, etc that had little to no role in the revenue generation of the company. RIP del.icio.us.

If the company had been saved it would not have been Yahoo! anymore.
