--"We immediately fixed the problem and have technology teams in place to ensure the continued performance of Silicon Investor," Ms. Munden says.-- Then why when I try for the third day in a row to update my SI portfolio information I still can't? I get this message:-"Missing ?pid parameter." exactly as written-this time. I find myself going over to Yahoo or RB for stock information and proper quotes more and more often. I have really enjoyed aspects of SI since I joined, but the ongoing technical problems suck and have gone on for months. Upgrades or not, it sucks. Puna

Personally I would equate it to going to a penitentiary to raise funds for a judicial election campaign. Barrons interactive.wsj.com The Stadium Jinx Attaching a corporate name is good for the ego, but not for the stock price By Andrew Bary Corporations have rushed to put their names on sports stadiums and arenas in recent years, but the subsequent record of their stocks suggests that managements probably should refrain from these exercises in corporate ego aggrandizement. Barron's has compiled a list of 47 arenas boasting corporate names that are home to teams in the four major professional sports: football, baseball, basketball and hockey. As our exclusive rankings show, the stocks of 17 of the 47 companies have declined since the stadiums opened, and just 13 of the 47 stocks have beaten the S&P 500 over those periods.
