Re Yahoo/finance
I am not sure why you guys are having a problem. If you enter the quote in the search input field, you get the quote. This is the same as in Google. Why is this a bad solution? Sometimes, yes, sometimes no. The google search field in google/finance is a finance specific search, that just yield quote output results. The yahoo/finance search field is not finance specific and yields all sorts of output, including quote. For example when I type in "MN" in yahoo/finance, my first hit are links to the state of Minnesota, Minnesota football teams etc.
Again, yahoo has taken a simple thing, that I could do with one mouseclick or one simple action into something that now needs 3 mouseclicks. Same with Portfolios that disappeared from plain view (I know I still can access the, via the old style finance pages, but now I need several clicks to get there.
I have started to use google/ finance more, but I think MSN Money is a worthwhile contender as well. I think the guys running yahoo now are clowns. They leave behind a trail of destruction (yahoo message boards, yahoo groups, yahoo sports, yahoo finance) and probably others that I don't know about. |
