Summary
- Yahoo reported Q314 numbers that generally beat estimates based on non-repeating items.
- Operations continue to show negative trends.
- A big jump in earnings from equity interests provided all of
the upside that will drop going forward with the reduced investment in
Alibaba.

garner more focus considering investors were already well aware of the
strong numbers from Alibaba.
