Google’s new site for tracking your investments
The new version replaces an aging portal that looked
outdated but still provided valuable information. The new Google Finance is
smarter and takes advantage of your search history.
For example, since Google
knows what you're looking up, it automatically pulls in ticker symbols for
companies you've read about and can recommend others to follow.
It's rolling out to users now, so some people will have to
wait a day or two for the new version hits their browsers.
It shows information on stocks or companies that you've
recently searched. In this case, we looked up Nvidia and Netflix. At the
bottom, Google recommends stocks. The right of the screen gives a snapshot of
U.S. and global markets.
This is your stocks page, where you can follow specific
companies. Think of this as the portfolio section from the old Google Finance.
You'll get a snapshot of stocks you own or want to track.
However, you can't
create different portfolios, which was a unique feature in the old version.
This is the new local markets page.
It shows the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite in the U.S.,
with charts and performance for each market.
The chart can be updated to
reflect changes over the past month, three months, one year, five years or from
the beginning of trading. The bottom of the page shows local market news.
This is the world markets tab. It looks just like global
markets. Here we see a snapshot of the Dow, the German DAX Performance Index
and a look at the performance of the finance. There are also news feeds if you
scroll down.
