    When I ready "Yang Loses $232.7 Million" I was really concerned because Yang is the name of my dog, given in adoption to my new little niece so I could not figure out how Yang made such amount of money in less than one month since he left and how he could lose it, LOL

    He is already a Billionaire, I don't think he cares about the $230 million, he is more interested in not selling out to Microsoft, but will sell him self out to google.

    He's in trouble now. Stock holders are taking legal action. He'll probably crawl back to Microsoft, and then Microsoft will buy Yahoo at a much lower price, like $30.
