Yeah, it's great. I use Google Finance for a totally different thing, though. Sites like Rocket Financial, Morningstar, Gurufocus, etc, are good to have a lot of the financial statements in the same spot to quickly compare things, note trends, see some company-specific news, some ratios, etc. Google Finance, to me, was the best place to have a bunch of watchlists and keep an eye on dozens and dozens of stocks with real-time updates and fast browsing when you click around. Not always the most productive thing, but just by quickly looking at things and bouncing between companies I've discovered things that I might not have discovered otherwise, so it has value.

Going to the direct URL still works. DOn't know for how long. I've been sending them feedback asking them to keep the separate site. I don't care if they add finance stuff in-search, but no reason to kill the old one when so many people use it and are fine with it. If they want to update it later, that's fine too.

Thank you! It popped up on an alert I have for Constellation Software, but I couldn't see what was said about it. My asking about it isn't an endorsement of this person or anything they say, to be clear :)

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/rob-magazine/prem-watsa-acolyte-vijay-viswanatha-on-why-boring-is-beautiful/article37114702/ I'm not a sub, but I'd be curious to read this article. Unless I'm mistaken, it seems to be paywall only. I'd appreciate it if someone could send me a copy, either by sharing it here or private message me. Thanks!

Use the 'send feedback' link at the bottom of the page. This thing looks designed by someone who had never used it and won't use it...

I know, I think it's probably temporary, maybe unless they get enough backlash. They've announced the change, and this morning they started redirecting to the new one. I think we're in the middle of the transition to the new thing. They should've just updated the charts from flash to HTML5 and left it alone for another 10 years...

This morning that redirected to the new thing, now it's there again... I hope they keep it as a separate thing, maybe someday update the charts to HTML5 and then not touch it again. They can keep the in-search finance stuff if they want, but it's not a replacement for a fast site with high density of info where you can keep an eye on dozens of tickers at a glance. At the bottom of the new finance pages there's a "send feedback link". I encourage people displeased with this change to send a little something. You never know what might reach the right ears...

So they finally did it, Google totally ruined Google Finance. Did anyone have a good web alternative just to keep an eye on a long list of stocks?

Is this like one of those jokes where you pretend it happened to you, or are you Michael Goldstein?

If you guys are looking for more good test pilot/astronaut stuff, I recommend "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe and "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaikin.

Interview with an early employee of Tencent who was first at Naspers and worked on the deal where they bought 47% of Tencent for 31 million dollars.. Interesting stuff: http://blog.ycombinator.com/tencents-chief-exploration-officer-david-wallerstein-on-wechat-qq-and-gaming/

They were never there in the first place. Ubiquitous cameras showed that. Leaks from even the NSA showed you can't keep secrets like that (Trump would've tweeted u by now). Same for yetis and others creatures (loch ness?). Doesn't mean there can't be life elsewhere in the universe, though.
