Mayer deserves no credit for Alibaba's value so that should be discounted from Mayer's "successes" at Yahoo.

A CEOs main job is resource allocation. She deserves a lot of credit for not selling Alibaba shares. There were lots of voices saying sell it before it's too late over the last few years.

Huh - "lots of voices saying sell"?

All I ever heard was how those were the only thing of value they had (and berating them for selling half of them back whenever that was).
