• $YHOO closed at new 52-week highs. It didn’t take long to recover from the after-earnings fiasco. It seems, Marissa Mayer still has the benefit of the doubt or the approaching Alibaba IPO is playing its role

• Other notable breakouts – $MDP (publishing), $MFC (life insurance), $FVE (long-term care facilities), $FSC (credit svs)
