AFCI will miss quarter. CEO resigns. I'm posting this because it's (it was) listed among my favorites.

I didn't say that. I know. Just ranting. Don't know why really - I didn't lose any money in YHOO today (or recently). However, execs exercising and selling heavily can lead a decline. Look at COMS. Heavy selling last fall, just before it dropped from $55 to just over $30 in 3 weeks, and this spring, just before it fell from mid $30s to mid $20s also in 3 weeks. The was only one sale for five months in between while it was trading in a range in the $30s. I'm not saying that selling of option shares buy YHOO execs is any kind of signal, just that in some cases, in some high flyers, it is a signal and it certainly doesn't indicate that they think the stock is a buy. BTW, what do you think of the market's stalling here, climbing above but failing to close above 9000 several days now. Perhaps Dow stocks and the top end of the S&P don't benefit from window dressing - who wants big, boring, profitable companies in your reports when you can have Amazon? Bob
