I wish Yahoo hadn't continually tried to "improve" the finance site. They have ruined it.

I am in total agreement with you. Yahoo used to be great, now not so much.

Yahoo should go back to their old screener tool. The new one is a piece of crap.

When I look at the articles on Yahoo Finance, it's for entertainment rather than information. It's amusing to see article after article by people who claim to know why the markets are doing what they're doing. The sequence goes something like this:

Day1: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day2: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day3: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day4: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day5: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day6: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day7: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day8: Dow down 100 points because of ...
etc.

All of the reasons they give for why the markets are roaring up and down from day to day become meaningless within 24 hours (if they weren't meaningless to begin with).

If the people writing these articles were actually telling the truth, the sequence would look like:

Day1: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day2: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day3: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day4: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day5: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day6: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day7: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day8: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
etc.

But that would get boring; so instead they print entertaining, but meaningless, speculation.

I had a 'feedback' tab on the bottom of my 'improved' Yahoo!Finance page, so I left feedback against the new layout.

Extreme backlash from users made Yahoo! undo their last attempt at 'improving' the portfolios page, so I encourage all users to give negative feedback again.

Just remember - ‘diversity’ is your friend...when it comes to investments. PMs, stocks, bonds, paid-for land, paid-for vehicles, no CC debt, guns & ammo.

You’re all set. :)

They all suck. Everyone either talks their book or large hedge funds and the like pay people support their position, whether it is short or long.

The forums are loaded with paid boiler room trolls. If a stock is being shorted then 1/2 the people there will be paid to bash it.

Here is a good article on naked shorts:
