How great do Yahoo's investors feel that their CEO is spending her time on trying to be designer instead of streamlining and turning her company around.

Yahoo! Stock: Oct. 22 2012: $15.77 March 18 2013: 22.01 June 24 2013: $24.07 July 16 2013: $26.88 Marissa appointed July 18 2013: $29.66 Sept. 5th 2013: 28.23

I'm not sure how commentators are extrapolating that this is the sole focus of Marissa as CEO.

If Mayer was so excited about literally tilting an exclamation point 9 degrees to the right as some sort of liberating self-expression, can you imagine how up-tight people must be over there now?

Perhaps, as the GP states, she is appealing to the demographic needed to drive business versus its shareholders.




The stock prices are going up because of Alibaba's performance. Yahoo's revenue, however, is down.
