I’ve been using Yahoo Finance to keep tabs on my stocks for as long as I can remember. Ten years maybe? It’s a simple, fast-loading page which lists all of your stocks and any news associated with them. It’s perfect for my simple needs. But after Yahoo’s redesign a week or so ago, Yahoo Finance has been pissing me off<\/em>. I know this may seem like a minor thing, but Yahoo is now forcing users to log in every 24 hours. For someone who uses two or three computers (or even one computer, really), this is a major pain.<\/p>\n

What a useless set of options! Every 15 minutes? Who the hell would choose that? Who would want any<\/em> of those options? Why not have one for “every click” as well? You could call it the MySpace Setting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this is becoming a real nuisance so I’m going to kill my Yahoo Finance habit and find another site to track stocks on ASAP. Does anyone have any suggestions? Google Finance maybe? What do you use?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
