permabear Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Fed up with Google Finance - they haven't updated the platform in 5 years! Any better alternatives (not Yahoo)? Thanks
Jurgis Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hah, we've had this discussion before. You'd think Google and Yahoo would value their finance platforms as premium places for ads. And yet they are treated as red headed stepchildren... Bonkers.
augustabound Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Fed up with Google Finance - they haven't updated the platform in 5 years! Any better alternatives (not Yahoo)? Thanks What are you looking for? I only use Google finance for a quick glance and sometimes to verify its ticker symbol.
wknecht Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Not sure if you're referring to apps or web based, but as far as apps, I started using one called MyStocks that I like quite a bit. It's good for portfolios with multiple currencies which is a complaint I've had with other options.
permabear Posted October 16, 2015 Author Posted October 16, 2015 Looking for web-based, but I will try MyStocks on my phone as well - thanks I use it on a daily (sometimes minute by minute) basis to track securities. Not doing anything fancy - no technical analysis, not entering my trade information, not looking for fundamentals, financials, etc. Just watching price/volume activity, waiting for buying/selling opportunities and checking a few things here and there like market cap, share count, dividend yield. Google Finance news feed on the security page is absolutely terrible. Most of the feed is irrelevant or old. I don't get why the results don't mirror results of a simple Google search. I also don't like how I can't track debentures, rights or other non-standard securities. I look at mostly Canadian and US securities. Need to see it in the domestic currency (some apps like Seeking Alpha convert everything to USD, rendering it useless). That said, I still haven't found a platform I prefer to Google Finance...
intothebreach Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 If you're open to considering paid alternatives: - YCharts is hard to beat and their fundamental charts are the best I've seen. Their monthly plans start at $40. - The paid version of Morningstar is also interesting because you can customize up to 30 data points for watch lists or portfolios.
