>it was added to make the market go up, silly. Amazing timing on the part of the S&P advisory committee. They did it right after the market closed- a day in which yahoo was down 13 points, its largest decline in 4 months. Yahoo was dragging down the rest of the internuts too- ebay and the like were down 8 or 9 points. Sure, Yahoo only has 100 million shares and as such has no business in the S&P 500. It also has less than 100 million in annual income, of which 75-80% is interest earned on the 780 million in cash raised through a secondary offering.
