Wow. That is one hell of a valuation. If Yahoo! were to capitalise on Alibaba IPO'ing and if it's a massive success, then it would provide a nice little buffer of cash for the next few years for Yahoo! to re-establish itself in the web space once more like it currently has been.<p>An interesting thing about Alibaba is that you never really hear of it in Australia, nor anywhere else, but this silent company is absolutely nailing it.
