MM,

Remember when Yahoo suddenly dropped Japan from the map of Asia?
To get a Nikkei quote, one could link to Yahoo-Japan.
That way they could score double hits and make Yahoo-Japan
look good.

I saw some comment that they stated they had problems with the
data feeds, but using ^N225 there were never any problem getting a
quote.

IMO this was all a trick to increase the statistics.

I am using Yahoo pager to show indices and a few stocks all day
along. It is updating every minute or so and I wonder if they
count every update as a hit. If that's the case, then I'm personally
responsible for causing more than 100K hits a year.

One last thing, everybody seems to be cheering a proforma 0.11,
excluding this and that, but nobody seems to have any comments
on -0.08 as a bottom line result.

Who cares anyway? 11 cents beats 8 cents, that's all we need to know.

Regards
Per S
