Finance information on Google

They just proved that Google never forgets anything, even when you do your best to remove&#x2F;delete&#x2F;erase&#x2F;destroy your personal information.<p>I thoroughly and repeatedly deleted all stock-related information from my Google account: all portfolios removed, all search history erased, all past Google Now topics suppressed, past emails deleted, Google chat conversations removed. Just <i>everything</i> (and I know really well how to control data on a Google account, I was once a Google fanboy and explored every little feature I could get my hand on, so customizing my Google account&#x2F;products settings is something I&#x27;m quite good at).<p>Guess what? Going to their new google.com&#x2F;finance brought all the stocks I&#x27;ve once added to Google Finance <i>and removed</i>. More than a dozen of stock tickers were automatically added to my account, and listed as &quot;following&quot;.<p>It&#x27;s impossible for me to completely delete my Google account because of some work-related obligations, but Google just proved that it will NEVER allow you to get forgotten.<p>We&#x27;re forced to feed a beast we can no longer escape.<p>PS: the only Google things I occasionally use now are Gmail &amp; Google Contacts (planning to switch to ProtonMail, but waiting for a contact syncing service on Android) and search (when Qwant isn&#x27;t good enough).

&gt; Google Finance is under renovation. As a part of this process, the Portfolios feature won&#x27;t be available after mid-November 2017. To keep a copy, download your portfolio.<p>Epic. Fail.<p>EDIT: also, new new version looks terrible! it&#x27;s first stop on the way to obsolescence and graveyard

I remember when Google product announcements meant you’d get blown away by something unexpectedly better than everything else. Now we have this.

&gt; As part of this revamped experience, we’re retiring a few features of the original Google Finance, including the portfolio<p>So they&#x27;re basically making it useless.

I&#x27;ve been complaining about Finance for years but they never listen. At one point the charts work OK then they replaced them with <i>flash</i> which I refused to allow on my Mac. The stock screener was always a broken waste of time. Often their data was months behind when it came to updating or retiring symbols. At one point it showed a retired symbol for month. The categories seemed almost hopeless to get any real info out of. They should either make it google class or eliminate it entirely.

Portfolio is the only thing I wanted. Lots of other sites offer stock charts and news. :(<p>The previous portfolio did suck bad, but they could easily have improved it. Major missed opportunity.

&quot;As part of this revamped experience, we’re retiring a few features of the original Google Finance, including the portfolio, the ability to download your portfolio, and historical tables&quot;<p>Removing this sucks...<p>I can still use Google Sheets... hopefully they won&#x27;t kill that too

I hope they expose the API. There are very few good API&#x27;s in finance, Yahoo&#x27;s was great until they deprecated it.

I&#x27;ve long used the portfolio tool, and it is sufficient for my needs. I like that it is separate from my investment company&#x27;s tool in part because it separates portfolio tracking from trading.<p>Can anyone recommend a comparable portfolio tracker where I can simply upload the .ofx file I&#x27;ve downloaded from Google Finance and get a comparable experience?<p>Google, I&#x27;m bummed that the portfolio service is ending, as it has been extremely useful for more than half a decade for me, but thank you for providing it for free for as long as you have.

Why can&#x27;t they just create your profile from reading your GMail? Or even better, from just reading the framebuffer of your Android device or Chrome browser?

Is there an actual link to the site? Going to google.com&#x2F;finance doesn&#x27;t give me the same thing as they show in the demo.

The completion isn&#x27;t great. If I type &quot;MA&quot; it suggests Macy&#x27;s, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (an Indian car maker), and MannKind Corporation (a biotech company with 2MM revenue last quarter). It does not, however, suggest MasterCard, whose ticker on NYSE is &quot;MA&quot;...

Is this live yet? Tried on .co.uk and .com and I can&#x27;t see the tab under &quot;More&quot;.

On mobile at least (haven’t tested on desktop), they only show quarterly financials, which, for value investing, are the least useful numbers for decision making.

Has no one else noticed that horrendously choppy gif? How is that supposed to persuade me to use the new Google Finance?

&quot;Adobe Flash Player is required for interactive charts.&quot;

guess its not live yet.
