The Internet company AOL is considering, along with several financial investors to purchase the online pioneer Yahoo.
The considerations are only at a very early stage and could lead to any concrete offer, the Wall Street Journal on Thursday restricted, however, citing a person briefed on. The market value of Yahoo is 20 billion dollars. Post-trade, the stock jumped up by 13 percent.

Yahoo is a long time ago to rest. Microsoft only wanted the group now. On the resistance of the board of directors gave the Windows giant's plan, however, and agreed only after a close partnership in the search engine business. Yahoo chief Carol Bartz is now looking for a durable business model. A capital of Yahoo are the hundreds of millions of customers who use as the e-mail services of the company. AOL is about to transform itself from a major provider of internet access to a specialist for online content.
