Yes, but what's the point of existing?

Sell the investments, return money to all shareholders. Bye bye Yahoo.

If they sell the investments they have to pay taxes on the gains. These tax issues are the driving force behind everything going on at Yahoo right now.

The investments would be the point of Yahoo existing, the company would just be a stakeholder of other companies.
