Yahoo reportedly to mull sale of its core business

From CNET: Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has been desperately trying to lure consumers back to the company's products, like Yahoo Mail and search. But now she may be considering another option: selling Yahoo's iconic Internet services altogether, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The company will weigh the decision to sell its core business during a series of meetings from Wednesday to Friday, according to the report, which cites anonymous sources.

During those meetings, everything apparently is on the table. The company will discuss whether it will continue with its plan to spin off its stake in the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, worth more than $30 billion. Or it could sell its own Internet business. Or it could do both.

A Yahoo spokeswoman declined to comment.

Since Mayer, a former Google executive, took the helm at Yahoo in 2012, she's been trying to turn the troubled Internet pioneer into a destination again.
