Very helpful
September 10, 2012

Very helpful. I like how you can quickly enter stocks and quickly get feedback. I wish it was easier to find equity analysts for a particular stock, though- as I like seeing links to their opinions.

ITS INTENTIONAL
August 23, 2017

THIS IS A CONSPIRACY OF THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY TO PREVENT AVERAGE PEOPLE FROM GETTING ACCESS TO GOOD FINANCIAL DATA.

YAHOO! ACCEPTED BRIBES AND KICKBACKS FROM LARGE BANKS TO MAKE THE SITE LESS FUNCTIONAL!

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE STOCK MARKET!

Had repeated problems using Yahoo finance in relation to the stock symbol TD.TO - it has been going on for months. Yahoo finance makes me miss Google finance...

The market value of options in a portfolio doesn't calculate correctly.
I usually get zero.
A better approach would be average bid and ask and multiply by the
Number of contracts.

Horrible
March 21, 2019

Complete train wreck. Horrible. Super slow and blanks all over the page. To think I had stock in this company and they try to see if you want to bring in your trading. LMAO.

The worst company I have ever dealt with
Unorganized, unprofessional, irresponsible, essentially not a professional, constant breach of obligations,
Never calls back, never follows through the scheduled appointments
Constantly rescheduling appointments
I would not wish to deal with that company to my worst enemy.

Message boards
May 15, 2020

The site and the app seem to work fine...
The scary part is what goes on in message boards.
Well most know to not put faith in these forums I can't help but observe, this is what I have concerns about.
The so called pumpers and shorts are actually the same, just depends on what way they want the stock to move.
Many post are deleted by the moderator if does not suite there view.
Seems possible that the pumper/shorts actually work for the site as they seem to have admin rights to the message board.
One cycle I have noticed recently is the common pumping of stocks prior to Earnings Report, then once the reports are public and the stock slides, the pumpers/shorts reset with different names/profiles.

All in all I understand why the message boards get a bad rap, seems their purpose is primarily to manipulate the stocks for the purpose financial gain.

Big surprise to most? Probably not lol not a bad place to find news or PR but that's the only positive for these forums that I can see.

Beware and as always do you own DD, lots of folks here eager to motivate you for their own purpose.

Promotes Motley Fools

Yahoo Finance is not objective. Most articles are written by Motley Fools staff. It looks like it is owned by Motley Fools

I'm not sure where Yahoo get their numbers from, but they certainly don't reflect the real-time market in any way that's accurate or reliable. Thumbs down.

Misleading quotes
April 23, 2019

Many quotes, including foreign blue chips, are suddenly not updated for days, weeks, or months! You must always double check the information as it might be obsolete.

Just read a review of tourism to UK dated 13 Nov featuring on 21 Nov which is just a general slating of Uk using old news with no real insight of what is really happening. Rubbish.

Your new finance format for portfolios simply stinks. Data is missing, editing is a pain, and the whole new format is like buying a YUGO as compared to the Porsche that the old system was.

Yahoo finance is 90% owned by Apollo Global Management. They are a massive alternative asset management company that invest in credit, private equity and real-estate. They have over $328 billion invested in capital companies, hedge funds, non-performing loans and collateralized loan obligations.

One of the companies Apollo Global is short on is AMC Theaters. The majority of the publications on Yahoo Finance is negative against AMC because of this short position. They support and / or direct these negative articles from the likes of Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, Inside Investors, etc for the sole purpose of driving down the stock price of AMC to lessen their loss and hopefully be able to cover they short bets.

This means that nothing on Yahoo Finance can be considered accurate. It is nothing more than a web site for stock manipulation by their owners and their affiliates. The retail investor cannot put their trust into any article displayed on Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance is compromised and should be ignored. Follow any of their recommendation at your own risk!

I had signed up for a free trial of Yahoo Finance to investigate if it was a platform to consider for monitoring stocks. After the free trial was up, I attempted to cancel my membership. The first month passed and I got a notification saying I was billed the $35 monthly charge. I double checked to confirm that I had canceled my membership, which I had. Then I wrote it off thinking I must have missed the deadline by a day or two. Then the next month's bill came in and I knew I didn't have any membership at this point in time. I called the customer service and they confirmed at least 1 of the accounts didn't have a membership. Then, there was a second account I did not recognize with an email and phone recover that were not mine. I requested that ANY membership charge on my account be stopped. They said I couldn't do this unless I verified the account. This was not possible as the account clearly was not longer owned by me. Most likely someone had hacked it. I offered to provide my credit card details to cancel any subscription tied to the card, but they wouldn't let me do it.

I haven't found a fix yet as my bank told me to work it out with the business.

Yahoo is the one taking my money. You think it would be easy enough to cancel the subscription. I don't even want my money back, I just want them to stop charging the card.

If you are reading this, pick a different provider. Clearly, all Yahoo cares about is profit.
