Google Finance updates
In an effort to stay hot on Yahoo!'s tail, Google has updated Google Finance. It's only been six months in the running, and now its time for a change. In this update, Google has added data and charts for up to 40 years of US stocks. A new homepage design lets users see currency and sector information instantly, as well as a listing of top movers. Registered users on the site have the ability to build portfolios and track stocks and companies. Users can also upload information from other online portfolios into their Google Finance portfolio. The new beta design launched on Tuesday. Don't forget to also add your Google Finance portfolio to your start page.So what do you think? Is it a Yahoo! Finance killer yet?

A pretty mundame, even lame attempt IMHO.
Hate to be down like this but it looks like someone designed it in less than 5 minutes.
No decent links, no ability to chnage paramenters or redesign the page. Yahho Finance isn't superb but it's 500% better.

It is a pretty lame upgrade. The charting is still great, but the portfolio features are very limited. It's unusable for any real stock tracking.

this is nothing close of a yahoo finance killer. Weak upgrade, as someone above me said, it looks like someone threw this together in five minutes. The depth of yahoo finance is a worlds difference from what google has at the moment. This upgrade seems more of a stunt to get some more attention to google finance.
