Google has introduced Google Finance pages for stock charts, news, and company data. The Google Finance pages aim to compete with the likes of Yahoo! Finance and Microsoft’s MSN Moneycentral.
I still prefer using Yahoo! Finance for most of my research, but the I do enjoy the crisp look and feel of the new Google Finance pages. Over the coming weeks I see myself utilizing Google Finance pages more and more for my stock market research.
The Google Finance main page for a stock ticker displays useful information, such as basic balance sheet information, company news, and an interesting chart application. The charts allow you to scroll left or right allowing you to seamlessly move forwards or backwards in the price and volume history of a company. Check out GOOG at Google Finance to browse Google’s stock price and company information.
Well, I like the new Google Finance pages. What do you think about them?
Google Finance is awesome. While it is obviously still beta (isn’t everything Google puts out these days?), it still has a few legs up on Yahoo Finance. Yahoo is more established containing a more familiar layout, Google is throwing in some improvements. Such as the slider bar for the timeframe on a particular stock, or the hover over for a corporations employees to see photo’s and ages. It’s nice to put a face to a normally faceless name. Over time it will improve, if Google can add their “Discussions” into gmail, I’ll live in my Google customized homepage.
