They should be pretty familiar with them by now: Yahoo is in a strong position, is executing well, and has great assets. But if the right cards were to fall into place, yes, strategic alternatives are always being explored. And again on Icahn, as stated in last night’s letter, he misunderstands the situation. A similar, less detailed letter to all Yahoos is here.
