Google Finance Opens Up

Google Finance was launched today. Its a good attempt and brings a lot of stuff in from various places which is good.. but I somehow still think Yahoo Finance is better.

Here are the positives of Google Finance:

1. Simple looking
2. Brings in blog entries – which is amateur and independent reviews of the stocks
3. You just need to put in names or tickers – anything will do – to bring up information on it! And if it is a foreign company – say one listed on Bombay Stock Exchange or Seoul Stock Exchange – it will still bring up enough information for you to research .. although the financials or graph will be missing (which no one else provides too anyways!)

Negatives

1. No stock screener
2. I like the statistics page of Yahoo – that is THE BEST thing there or ANYWHERE on the web when you want to research a stock. Google doesnt have anything close to it. For example I like to know the RoA and RoC as well as Enterprise Value (EV) and its ratio with the current market price – this is absolutely necessary for my decision in buying or selling a stock.
3. None of the information is held within the confines of Google domain itself .. everything is outsourced to Reuters, even Yahoo Finance etc.
