    The authors generically investigate the set of periodic points of the orientation preserving homeomorphisms of \(S^1\). The main results are the following: (i) All orientation preserving homeomorphisms of \(S^1\) except those in a nowhere dense set are semiperiodic. (ii) Most orientation preserving homeomorphisms of \(S^1\) have a strongly porous set of periodic points.
