Google finance

I think it was Barron’s that eliminated the stock tables a few years back, got waves and waves of cancelled subscriptions, and quickly reinstated the tables.

Lots and lots of older people still prefer their stock information at a lower frequency, in a paper format. Force of habit.

I saw that too, amazing resource!

I’m surprised at the design emphasis google gives to the charts of previous stock prices.

Any intro to finance class will assume that the market has incorporated all known information into the current stock price. Future performance is independent of past performance.

When somebody displays a graph of a stock price prominently (like CNBC does all the time), I like they’re trying to sell me snake oil.

check it out, tyler.
