This may be a silly question...but is Mayer now legally obligated to liquidate her Google stock position?
I would assume that owning a large amount of stock of one of your major competitors, as the CEO, could create some conflicts of interest for shareholders...no?
I am not insinuating that this is some sinister plot by Mayer to boost her Google stock holdings - I don't think there is anything she could do at Yahoo to do that, other than possibly shift their entire ad budget to Adwords...but even that.
Either way, I would love to know those sorts of 'quirky' implications on such a decision.
Especially given that the vast majority of her compensation is now in Yahoo stock.
I also wonder if it would be a 'legal' issue, or a moral issue.
