Yahoo finance news is nearly the worst place to look for anything. It's no wonder they are laying off people by the hundreds....
reuters.com
Yahoo Inc Chief Executive Marissa Mayer is set to reveal cost-cutting plans that include slashing 15 percent of the company's workforce, or roughly 1,600 jobs, and closing several business units, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

First... again... My apologies especially to Gottfriedn. Okay... Yahoo's data is bogus too. Worse even than Hulbert's data. Friday was a 9-1 upside day in volume.

It was not for advancers and decliners. Here is the data from the Wall Street Journal site:

*Primary market NYSE, NYSE MKT or NYSE Arca only. †Compares the ratio of advancing to declining issues with the ratio of volume of shares rising and falling. Arms Index or TRIN = (advancing issues / declining issues) / (composite volume of advancing issues / composite volume of declining issues.) Generally, an Arms of less than 1.00 indicates buying demand; above 1.00 indicates selling pressure.

Yahoo! news has changed a ton in the 21 years I've helped and used them.
My Yahoo news feed is so full of crap financial articles it is hard to describe. Half of them on any given day are 180 degrees wrong about the direction of what they are writing about...
21 years ago, Yahoo! finance used to be a useful list of hand built financial links. They actually pointed to my first web site, home.netcom.com , where I linked to web sites that were related to investing and personal finance.

I remember exchanging emails or chats with someone at Yahoo about how to make the data and tools more interesting, mostly the graphing tools if memory serves me right. It may have been Jerry Yang himself for all I know. I felt silly for years not owning Yahoo! as it was always over valued for my metrics yet I was a very early user... sort of like lamenting when I quit drinking that there was not a good place for friends to hang out and get a nonalcoholic beverage with a buddy in down town Los Altos just up the street from Starbucks that sold over priced coffee.... I missed that 1990s opportunity too.... anyway... on with the story.

For awhile, Yahoo! finance used to carry links to my new articles on Seeking Alpha seekingalpha.com . I thought that was really cool that my name was listed on Yahoo! under articles about SPY and other tickers I wrote about until Seeking Alpha said they were going to stop PAYING Yahoo! to include links to our articles! To make up for the lower traffic, SA gives us a fixed amount for each article.

So... it seems that Yahoo! finance is left with paid links to press releases and articles that are often hidden advertising for what the writer or host site is selling... like late night informercials and many low watt financial radio shows.

I still find it useful for the press releases..... and try to remember to click ads when I use the very useful material there that I like such as the earnings information I use each month for each stock I cover such as Key Statistics: finance.yahoo.com
