Yahoo is a company owned by Apollo Asset Management and Apollo is publicly traded, $APO. So if you have always wanted to invest in the best investing social media platform ever, today you (technically) can.

In all seriousness congrats to the Commonstock team, they all rock.

We never knew you could still get indirect stock exposure to Yahoo.  How cool !
We used to be shareholders in Yahoo (YHOO), picking it up after the wreckage of the 2000 bear market.
Our thesis was Yahoo would remain one of the most comprehensive media sites/portals, so we placed a small bet that it would survive, and hopefully thrive.  Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Sports were the crown jewels of the Yahoo family.  It didn't quite pan out and we lost patience after 6 years.  Sold out for a 11.2% loss, but the position was less than 1% of our portfolio so we must have treated our bet as a speculator at best.
09 Jan 2001: Buy YHOO @ $29.81
11 Dec 2006: Sell YHOO @ $26.47
Looks like $VZ still has a 10% stake in Yahoo, so all you Verizon shareholders will have a tiny stake in Commonstock !
