Google Finance

 Jane Galt on Google Finance:

So, I used Yahoo Finance for my every day economics writing. Or, I should say, used. Google just unveiled their new, updated finance site, and it's waaaaaay cool. The charts allow you to mouse over to see the actual level at the peaks . . . no more having to go back and do price lookups!

They've also got a pretty seriously cool sectoral overview, and a top gainers and losers section, which is mostly good for fun . . . but what fun Schadenfreude is. Now if they'll just add currencies and a little more international data . . . a loan calculator, perhaps . . . they'll have my loyalty for life . . .

Check out the updated Google Finance for yourself and I think you'll also be impressed.  Like many of Google's other tools, it is simple, easy to use, and extremely powerful.  I look forward to exploring it more.

See this funny video about the changes they have made.
