I don't know. I never know what stories they indicate, since I can't open up those damn blue i's in the circle. The one from today was that pointless award. Happy Investing! Vanni

Hunt, I've found that the Wall Street Journal web site is one of the timliest source of news (at least if it's DJ news) anywhere. Now, you have to know what you are looking for (but if you have a little i in a blue circle, you will know when and where to look...) as there are no scrolling headlines. But time and again, I have had the news first from the WSJ web site before those who Bloomberg terminals or even though who subscribe to DJ news. (Several hundred dollars a month for the latter in real-time.) It seems that the news hits the web site before it hits anywhere else - I suppose something in the nature of just how they slosh the data around - I suspect this has something to do with the web site having newer technology than other feeds. (I used to trade in a chat room, and we had people who had those expensive services. Drove em' nuts that I kept coming up with the news from a web site...)
