Yahoo vs Google Finance

Where Yahoo Leaves Google in the Dust, by RANDALL STROSS, Digital Domain (Aug 22)

Judging by traffic, Yahoo Finance is better than Google Finance. This article compares the two.

Conclusion: "It seems unlikely, however, that Google’s new tools — whose metrics include one called the Fast Stochastic Oscillator — will do as much for building traffic as a fluffy news story or a short video featuring talking heads. Yahoo understands that a free finance site prospers by drawing less from the world of mathematics and more from the world of entertainment, informing just enough to satisfy users without setting off an anxiety attack."
