How does yahoo finance construct its industry indexes? Are they equally-weighted or market cap-weighted?

The indexes I refer to can be found by clicking on the industry link found in the business summary portion of a given stock’s page, followed by the second link in the Intraday performance summary section of the resulting page. As one example, for Home Depot (ticker: HD), the ultimate link to the Home Improvement index is

Can son legally stop father from selling family inheritance land to pay for bad stock deals and church annex?

My partner’s father is an overzealous church deacon. His father lost a considerable amount of money at stocks, built an enormous, fund-draining home, and claims he now needs the land sale money to keep the house but he consistantly throws away $400+ a week to a small country church in the form of a “donation”. The son is furious at his father for secretively selling off portions of the family land to pay for trying to live too big and appear to be the “big man” in the county at church. The land has been in their family for several generations, and has always been kept intact, until recently. It is also suspected the father is trying to sell off land to make a very large donation for a proposed annex for the church. The son cares deeply for the land, and sees the land as a part of the family legacy, not as a commodity to dice and sell. Can the son do anything legally to prevent the further squandering of the inheritence?

before selling a stock for large profit, can I move from Calif. to another state with no state tax and avoid..

If i want to avoid paying state income tax on a large sum of money I might make off of the sale of a stock, can I move to another state like Texas that has no state income tax and not have to pay California state tax on it? How long will I have to live in Texas before selling the stock? Can I keep our house in California and rent it out or would I have to sell it in order to avoid the tax in California?

how do you go about leasing a business that is already established.?

the business is a local store/gas station and the owner wants to retire out. He is willing to lease or sale. since we have never owned a store before we wanted to lease for acouple of yrs then consider buying .what we dont understand is the stock that is in the store now do we buy it out or does it come as part of the lease and how do we 4 of us quit our jobs immediately and have a income. and also does he get a profit from the stores sales or is this all to be our profit once the store is leased?We wanted to save extra monthly to come up with the collaterl to buy this being that it is a large amount of money… is there a lease to own or could the owner do his own financing without us going to the bank We do own homes but do not want to use them as collateral. any lease information would be greatly appreciated.
