Except even if you managed to acquire all those companies, all their key leaders would leave Yahoo in a year to do their own thing.

I mean, do you really think the New York Times staff wants to work for Yahoo! News? Or that Jack Dorsey wants to work for Yahoo! Mobile?

Yahoo can't buy their way out of this mess, IMHO.

Yea, but if you buy all the companies. They couldn't leave in one year because they would need to earn out there shares.
