The flash chart with news correlations is a good way to get a feel for a stock, the design is <em>far</em> 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.</p> I have to echo the others in that I’m not seeing what’s so bad about it.

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?</p> After reading your post, I couldn’t really understand what makes you think that Google Finance is “bad”.
