Yahoo worth less than zero? Maybe Bloomberg is onto something...

Interesting piece on Bloomberg about how either 1) some of their other properties aren't valued correctly, or 2) the core business operations of Yahoo have negative value.  I'll suggest a third alternative, but I think 1 or 2 are also likely.

3) The combination of Yahoo with those other businesses lowers the value of Yahoo.

Value-additivity doesn't lie, so there's probably a combination of all three things at work here.  It's a dissertation waiting to be written, I think.
