This final note today, a very quick primer on the brewing controversy at Yahoo. Third Point, a hedge fund that owns 6 percent of the company, is threatening trouble if an error on Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson’s resume isn’t investigated thoroughly.

Everyday investors couldn’t care less. Yahoo shares up 1.3 percent today.
