Hedge funder Dan Loeb of Third Point has bought another 2.5 million shares of Yahoo for about $40 million this week, bringing his total to 73 million shares, according to a regulatory filing. Loeb — who now owns above six percent of Yahoo — won a seat on the board of the Silicon Valley Internet giant after threatening a proxy battle and has recently been the key director in finagling the recent hiring of former Google exec Marissa Mayer as CEO.
