Yahoo also owns 10% of Alibaba IPO Shares
Every dog has its day.. Today it's Google, tomorrow it will be Yahoo or someone else. The market is based primarily (now) on Hype. Google has been Hyped to the bubbling point and the bubble will burst like every other bubble. Take a look at Krispy Kreme's stock. People that never purchased a stock in their life or eaten a doughnut was buying Krispy Kreme, jsut like Google.
