Google Finance was launched a few months ago and has new features such as a stock market module. Do you use this site? If so, what do you think?

I will check it out when I have chance, but when I check stock prices, company information and what not, I typically use Yahoo Finance. Google only aggregates data and creates sites traditionally, while Yahoo makes investment to create its own content. When it comes to features like search, any unique or original content does not need to be there, but I personally like to see some unique and original content when I check a finance site partly because you can easily check stock prices and other basic information on any finance site easily today.

Google has a long way to go before they catch up to other financial portals like yahoo.

I find they are missing a lot of financial data on stocks outside of the S&P 500, and their news is slow to update.

Their little chart is cute, but offers no tools for anyone interested in technical analysis.

I agree, it still has a long way to go, but I like the interface a lot better than Yahoo.

However there is some information in the compare that I would like to see like hte PE, they seem to have everything else but what I really look at first off PE and FPE

Yes, agreed.

I like the interface a lot, but it is not good for following UK stocks.

Google does not create content - as mentioned earlier - as such it lacks in comparison to the Yahoo portal.

I am not sure if that is a detriment, there is already soo much data out there that parsing it in a easy to use way is just as useful if not more so than new content.
