A Dec. 22 article, 20 Mutual Fund 'Mutts,' incorrectly stated that the Rice Hall James Small/Mid-Cap Portfolio (RHJMX) lost 12.16% of its value for the year, through Dec. 18. Including a $3.24 per-share capital gain not reported by our data provider, the year-to-date return should have been 10.92%. A similar error was made with the stated 7.37% decline for the Icon Healthcare Fund (ICHCX), where the year-to-date return should have been listed as 0.78%, after including the capital gain of $1.46. The funds were removed from the updated story because they no longer qualify as worst-performing for the year. TheStreet.com regrets the errors. (Corrected Dec. 22)
A Dec. 20 article, Wednesday's Small-Cap Winners & Losers, contained erroneous information. The article stated that Innotrac (INOC) had received a contract to do work for Siemens (SI). However, Innotrac said it doesn't have a deal with Siemens, and that a press release issued Wednesday discussing the contract "was not authorized by the Company and is totally untrue." TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 20) A Dec. 18 story, Lilly Boosts Bid for Icos, incorrectly stated that Icos (ICOS) shareholders will vote on a new offer from Eli Lilly on Jan. 27. The correct date for the vote is Jan. 25. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 18)
In three references -- Dec. 15's A Wild Year for Tech and Friday's Food for Thought and Dec. 17's RealMoney's Best Blogs -- CBS Radio was incorrectly referred to by its former name, Infinity. The playlists for the radio stations were inaccurately quantified as 200 songs; the actual number substantially exceeds that figure. TheStreet.com regrets the errors. (Corrected Dec. 18)
A Dec. 14 story, High Hurdles Await Airlines, misidentified the CFO of American Airlines (AMR). His name is Tom Horton, not Tim Horton. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 14)
A Dec. 13 story, TheStreet.com Ratings: Three Dow 30 Favorites for 2007, incorrectly reported that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is beating the Russell 2000 year to date.

A Dec. 7 blog post by James Cramer titled Oracle's Too Hot to Handle mischaracterized the content of a Lehman Brothers report on Oracle as a downgrade rather than an earnings preview. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 7) A Dec. 6 blog post, Sizing Up the Yahoo! Shake-Up, incorrectly implied that the COO (Dan Rosensweig, who wasn't named in the post) and media group chief Lloyd Braun were fired. The two resigned. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 7)
A Dec. 6 RealMoney blog post titled Looking for the Next Trade on Volume, contained an error. Nearly 200 stocks made new 52-week highs on Tuesday, Dec. 5, instead of more than 500, as the post originally indicated. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 6) A Dec. 6 article, Cross Over to BioMarin, incorrectly stated that Serono (SRA:NYSE) is being acquired by Merck (MRK:NYSE) of Whitehouse Station, N.J. Serono is in fact being bought by Germany's Merck KGaA. TheStreet.com regrets the error. (Corrected Dec. 6)
