It seems like Google under delivered on this one. Let’s wait and see what they intend on doing about the negative response.

Yahoo! just seems much easier to use. Anyone actually have Google Finance as their main market portal?

The flash chart with news correlations is a good way to get a feel for a stock, the design is far more attractive than Yahoos (due primarily to lack of noisy ads) and the real time suggestions are helpful if you don’t know the ticker symbol.

i think you should listen to my latest podcast to get a complete low down. i just did not feel like writing the whole thing down anyway. i think you will get a better understanding of where i am coming from.

You didn’t like the look, but that’s very subjective. I didn’t find that a turning off factor. Is there inherently bad about Google Finance that made you give this “thumbs down” vote?

Try putting in the ticker symbol “SVI” – you should get Services Acquisition Corp. International. Instead, you get Strategic Vista International, which trades as SVI on the Toronto exchange. Putting in the company name doesn’t yield the company either.

Now, put in “PPS.” Google Finance is currently showing it’s price at $1.57, even though it closed over $45. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone made a poor decision based on their incredibly faulty data (wrong company? price off by a multiple of almost 30?!?) and tried to hold them legally responsible.
