You may have noticed some prominent exclusions within our internet content category with online advertising giants Google (GOOG: 610.615 +2.40%) and Yahoo (YHOO: 15.82 -0.63%) not being mentioned at all. However, internet stocks with market caps of $5 billion or greater are included in our large cap internet stock category as we believe that the stock market evaluates those companies slightly differently.
