Any recommendations for a better alternative?

  Yahoo Finance
  - adxlarbi 9y ago
    I just come to say the same. Yahoo Finance is the best alternative for Google Finance.
  - DeepYogurt 9y ago
    Just tried it and despite being a little cluttered it's pretty good.
  - giancarlostoro 9y ago
    I've always heard great things about Yahoo Finance and I keep the Android app as of recently. They notify me with videos / articles about what's going on in finance which I find handy, it's not too much of it thankfully.

    And what strikes me as a finance professional is that I can get live stock prices from the free yahoo finance website, whereas my expensive bloomberg terminal only has 15min delayed stock prices...
    - smileysteve 9y ago
      Don't say that too loud. Most of the exchanges grant uses of real time quotes for non-finance-professionals only.
    - tener 9y ago
      If you require it surely you can get it if you pay for that?
      - cm2187 9y ago
        Yeah but the base license for the terminal is like £15,000 a year. With that you would expect to get at least what I get for free on yahoo finance.

        My team shares a BB, so I can walk over to the machine and get 15min stale prices.

    I would never have guessed I would migrate from a google product to a yahoo product. What an odd thing this is.
    - nikcub 9y ago
      There are plenty of gaps in what Google do that Yahoo! do or did better (stocks, sports, news, weather, chat, groups etc). It's a shame they focused on competing against exactly where Google were the strongest.
      - sitruc 9y ago
        I am not sure which company the they is in your second sentence. I think you mean Yahoo and they do have some good services. I haven just always used google products (remember iGoogle?) I have set up yahoo finance and it is lovely but it is just a (small) pain to jump to another site/app ect.

  Quandl is pretty good (https://www.quandl.com/ https://www.quandl.com/). It is a unique API (and has a web interface as well) to a collection of financial and economics data sets.

  Teletrader Public Webstation http://www.teletrader.com http://www.teletrader.com (full disclosure, that’s the company I work for)
  - tonetheman 9y ago
    That is a nice looking web page!
  - DonHopkins 9y ago
    Is there a webinar for webtraining webtrepreneurs how to use a webstation? ;)

    15 min delay on intraday quotes :-/
    - chrisan 9y ago
      Is there anything free that doesn't have a 15min delay?
      - eps 9y ago
        finance.google.com and nasdaq.com
  - ben_utzer 9y ago
    Selecting a nation will change automatically language. That's bad. Especially for Switzerland.
    - eps 9y ago
      Yep. Same problem here. Also can't search by company's name if it has an apostrophe.
  - pmikesell 9y ago
    I'm going to check it out. As an idea - could you add the ability to import transaction lists (as csv) which have been exported from google finance? Ok so I have this page up and have a new portfolio - how do I add transactions?
- YourCupOTea 9y ago
  tradingview.com for charts
- ctrlrsf 9y ago
  CNBC charts aren’t too bad. Lots of other crap on the site though.
- dan1234 9y ago
  It's certainly not perfect, but I generally use Morningstar for checking funds and prices. They still use Flash for some parts (like portfolio x-ray), but it's not the needed for the simpler charts.
  - bradshaw1965 9y ago
    Growth of 10K tool on Morningstar is really handy so that you aren't comparing apples to oranges with dividends, splits, etc.

  Yahoo! Finance (or whatever they call themselves these days)

I still use http://finviz.com http://finviz.com a ton. They have a decent screener, and the best charts around.

  Yeah but no EURO markets
