The Individual Investor and ONLine Investor are two different companies. The reason you can't see Individual Investor on the Yahoo finance page is because it is currently in BETA testing but should be ready very soon as they planned on testing it for 2 weeks but not sure when they started. The beta test site was leaked out somehow but seems to be fully functional already. The next 2 days should be interesting. Vince

<Can anyone shed any light?> I don't know what's going on w/Yahoo searches, and don't have time to ck. rt. now; but frequently, they [ info] will get crossed bcse. of boolean searches, rather than Co. or symbol-specific searches. This happens all the time [ eg. w/ the 4 "SNAP's," etc.] For all you former Mousekateers [ or am I the only one who remembers?] "today is the day that is filled with surprises; nobody knows what's going to happen..." From the opening mkt.indications, how true !

Mark...as someone already explained, that is the whole point...we are seeing the INDI/Yahoo content page "before it is released"...the link is not there yet from the main Yahoo finance page because it has not officially gone live yet... That is what we've been talking about for a few weeks now...when we first "found" the beta test site, only 1 or 2 of the entries were current, most simply said "This is a Header"..."This is a paragraph"...1 by 1 all the entries got actual headlines and stories which were current...but the INDI icon hasn't yet been added up in the upper right hand corner, the main link hasn't yet been added on the main Yahoo finance page under Editorial content, and of course there has been no press release announcing what we already know to the rest of the world...but the anticipation is building and as a kicker, we have the CBS Marketwatch.COM IPO on the verge of sending the whole sector into orbit.... So with a few breaks, we could easily get a double from current levels on INDI... GO INDI !!!! Jimbo.
