Are you a google product manager? I ask because, wow, this response is condescending.
I know the original chart tool was in Flash... I used it and described the features it had. Why after 10 years is the new version less useful than before?
Yahoo finance stayed separate and has been better for it. It doesn't make sense for stocks to be integrated into search - I completely disagree.
I never said anything about Google Finance being the only tool I used. It was a perfect place to start and once I found an interesting security I would move over into something more serious.
Does that make sense?
- antientropic 6y agoEh. Where's the condescension?
- baumy 6y agoI didn't react as strongly as the person you're replying to but I get it. The "Does that make sense?" bit, along with the rest of the comment, makes it read like a schoolteacher trying to patiently explain why something is the way it is to a student who they are sure they have superior knowledge over. The last line of the comment you're replying to makes it clear that's how oramit interpreted it. A bit more charity may have been warranted but I do see where he's coming from.
- adrianmonk 6y ago> The "Does that make sense?" bit The first person said that Google dumbed down Google Finance "senselessly". So, in context, I definitely took the response's "Does that make sense?" to mean "Was it a rational product decision on Google's part?" rather than "Can you understand this?".

- silexia 6y agoThis comment gets emotional and attacks the previous comment unnecessarily.
