TC Roundup: Yahoo's Mayer faces choice between investors, herself on Alibaba

Yahoo's Mayer faces choice between investors, herself on Alibaba: Yahoo! Inc. (YHOO) Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer may find ducking a multi-billion-dollar tax bill forces her to choose between making impatient shareholders happy or running a larger company.
