      Crude -1.1% to $58.70. Gold -0.5% to $730.
      Ha! That's a great way of viewing it.

      Dependent on Coin-Flip Cramer, Will TheStreet.com Sell?
      Readers frequently ask why we give so much coverage to Jim Cramer on Seeking Alpha, given that he's not an employee or owner of Seeking Alpha, and we have no other connection with him. Here's why:

      Cramer's TV shows are the most popular investment shows, and he moves stocks. As a result, many investors -- both individuals and professionals -- want to know what he's saying.

      But that's not to say that his investment performance is necessarily good. Here are some articles about this:

      In a gutsy call, CreditSights says corporate bond yields have peaked: "Predicting that the credit markets have reached a nadir from which they will now begin to recover may seem like foolhardy optimism at this point in the game," firm says, "but it's a view that arises more from the belief that they could hardly get any worse."
      JD Steinhilber called a bottom based on valuation about a week ago. Really worth reading:

      Please note that this article was erroneously tagged with the ticker AFSI, belonging to AmTrust Financial Services Inc. AFSI is unaffiliated with AmTrust Bank, the company mentioned in this article.

      Jud -- the news in the Breaking News section is all produced by our own editors to carefully defined standards. It's different in nature from the other articles on the site, which is why we color coded it differently.

      Steve Sinclair, thank you for pointing out that "The Big Picture" is also a column on Investors' Business Daily. That suggests that (a) the term is generic, and (b) readers will understand what it refers to.

      Out of the alternative names that have been suggested in the comments here, is there one that stands out to anyone?

      Rumpole, your point about disability access is crucial -- thank you for raising it. One of the benefits of moving to dashboards is that we could display the navigation to the detailed areas of the site (in the left column) in a larger font. In fact, much of the navigation on the site is now in a larger font size. I realize that doesn't help you if you're blind, but hopefully it does help some people.

      We'd be really interested to hear from you: how do you access the site? Do you use text-to-audio software, and if so, how well does it run on Seeking Alpha?

      DaveW, thanks for your thoughtful feedback (as always). The principle we used behind what goes into The Big Picture and what goes into Stocks & Sectors is that any article about individual stocks and sectors belongs in the latter, while trends belong in the former.

      For that reason, we put Housing & Real Estate in The Big Picture, but Homebuilders in Stocks & Sectors.

      I think you're right about the importance of financials: they're a key driver of this market.

      User 666 -- I hope it's not that bad! The contents of the old drop downs are exactly as they were before, but in the left-hand margin of the dashboards. We made one category move -- we moved Oil, Commodities and Currencies from Global Markets (now Global Investing) to The Big Picture (formerly US Market). Otherwise everything is as it was before.

      Hedge Fund Manager's Notebook: The Power of Dividends
      oldtdr and stone fox capital, we (Seeking Alpha) chose the title, not the author. He sends notes every day, and we try to highlight the key topic or topics he mentions. But by their nature, the notes are brief.

      Do you have any suggestions for alternative titles?
