5. "I hate Yahoo for constantly doing this but the title of the story from the main page is as indicated in my title...."

Yes, it gets worse...

That "stock market today" page (that's the title one sees after clicking the finance.yahoo.com page headline, and looking at the story that pops up), which changes throughout the day, and, speaking of the finance.yahoo version, never starts with "stock market today"

Sigh. And now the worse part --

That "stock market today" page has at least a dozen stories below it from throughout the day, but few have stand-alone versions with URLs. So I have to instruct readers to go to the stock market today URL ( currently, for Frdiay, https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/stock-market-today-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-fall-to-end-volatile-month-as-ai-worries-buffet-markets-211239963.html )
and scroll down the page, or do a search on the page for "Private credit fears keep hammering the financial sector" if that's the story I want to direct readers to.

I deal with that all the time in my "S&P 500" pinned thread in the Economy Group ( https://www.democraticunderground.com/111699775 , it's also in my sig line ), where I, in a typical day cover what's at the URL, and then have a section, "SCROLLING DOWN THE PAGE" and list the ones of interest for the day.

Not too bad for a one-day report, but I also want to refer to some of those stories long-term (that page keeps an archive of many of the main economic reports of the last 2 months in the "Calendar" section, and it really is silly that there, I also often have to direct people the same way, whether than giving them some URL that takes them direct to the story.
