Stocks lower; Yahoo struggles on 3Q concern

SAN FRANCISCO -- Shares of major Internet companies traded mostly lower
on Monday, with Yahoo Inc. sliding in the face of its approaching
third-quarter earnings report and Google Inc. losing ground due to
mounting legal threats from entertainment firms.

The major indices reflected the blue Monday as both the Dow Jones
Internet Index (DJI_DJINET) and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite
Index ($COMPQ) opening the day on the downside.
