Yahoo is much more profitably than many companies with similar revenue streams and they have a lot of great products and services. But in terms of achievement, Yahoo pales in comparision. In other words, they are doing okay, but could be doing a LOT better. Right now, there management is unfocussed and they continue to lose talent. Things might turn around, but Yang is not the answer.
