Buying Yahoo Is A No-brainer For Alibaba

Today at the China 2.0 conference at Stanford, Alibaba Groups's Jack Ma replied to a pointed question about buying Yahoo with, “We are very interested in Yahoo. Our Alibaba group is important to Yahoo and Yahoo is important to us … All the serious buyers interested in Yahoo have talked to us.” Those "serious buyers" most likely include Alibaba Group investor Silver Lake Partners, Microsoft and Andreesen Horowitz, who have all reportedly reached out to Yahoo's board.

Senh: What a turn of events. If anything, I thought Yahoo would be the ones buying Alibaba. Now, it's the other way around.
