Oops, guess I wasn't clear, since I meant the exact opposite. Look, right now pretty much everyone offers free e-mail and stock portfolio tracking. I happen to use YHOO not because they're better than anyone else but because I used them first and they're adequate. Since the service is free, someone would have to pay me for the hassle involved in shifting. While first-mover advantages on the web get overhyped, I think they are especially strong for free, and/or inexpensive services.
