Something interesting from the Red Herring.................. "Never have we felt that there is any confusion from our users that we're bringing the best content forward," says Yahoo chief operating officer Jeff Mallett. "We've always felt from day one that we are consumer advocates; we have to be very clear to our consumers what we are offering them." Yahoo maintains that its product decisions for sites like Yahoo Finance are made independent of any business concerns. "There is a team of decision-makers who decide 'I'm going with the Reuters financial news; the Motley Fool is good,'" says Mr. Mallett. But those decisions can, apparently, be swayed by financial concerns. CBS MarketWatch.com (MKTW) disclosed in regulatory filings that it had agreed to pay Yahoo $1.6 million over a 12-month period following MarketWatch's public offering to have its stories featured on Yahoo Finance.

Remember also that Valueline has Yahoo rated 1 for timeliness since December saying that they see it doing very well this year. This is the first time Valueline has ever put an internet stock on their most recommended list. Institutions love this Valueline and use it as their bible. Ron
