Zero stars.
December 1, 2024

Slowest download on the web. Monitors of site are insane when it comes to posting any comment. Spammers galore. Most times %100 unusable even for simple quotes. Goog has destroyed a once useful tool.

I firmly alert against drawing in with Yahoo Finance, as my experience proposes they work as a trick organization. Be careful about any contribution, as it might bring about monetary misfortune and negative outcomes.

I've gotten my cash back and that was just way I could go about it. I found support from. (I Involved THEIR Site URL AS MY Showcase NAME AND PROFILE PICTURE ON THIS Audit INCASE YOU Want Assistance AND Believe Should Connect with THEM).

Note: I did this on account of the severe arrangement here and truly I simply need to help whatever number individuals as would be prudent to get their cash back.

I have found and verified several outright lies on the Yahoo Finance site with one regarding ME holdings being reported to the SEC.
These lies consist of events that never happened as well as referencing investors, financial writers and analysts that either don't exist or had their names used without their knowledge.
Yahoo Finance will print virtually anything if they are paid enough. I would have rated them at 0 if it were possible.

Varify what you read.
December 9, 2022

Be aware that Yahoo like all such sites, make their money selling advertising space. As such they are loath to turn away any client including those who are dishonest or misleading. I have noted several exaggerated claims, misrepresentations and outright fabrications in several of their paid sponsor articles.
As a result I now totally disregard these segments of Yahoo finance because I don't have time for the due diligence needed to trust them. They are at best in the "Ripley's Believe It Or Not" category.

Complete Joke
February 19, 2023

Some posts on YMB are permitted and others are rejected. Depending on where your bias lies. Unfortunately nothing can or will be done about it. I no longer frequent the site as zero information is allowed to be shared between investors. It's become a cesspool of spam and a short sellers platform to spread disinformation.

In the last month there have been so many problems with Yahoo Finance not working it has truly become a useless site. Stock symbols don't take when you enter them and the whole page is nonresponsive most of the time. I have contacted Yahoo on at least 3 or 4 occasions but all they say is their engineers are working on it. It just can't be that difficult to fix. For many years it worked nearly flawlessly and now it SUCKS! I wonder f it is intentional to try to get people to pay for their enhanced service but there is no way anyone would want to pay for something that doesn't even work when it's free.

I can understand swearing but Yahoos finance talk forums go way beyond. I tried to download a business article from You Tube for the others on the chat forum and Yahoo for some reason would not allow me to publish it. This has now happened twice. There reasons are generic and not specific at all. You can't use specific words that aren't even inflamed. Why bother find another forum I'm sure there are others.

NPC Parrots
June 7, 2023

Are the employees truly so narrow minded? Do they understand or even research companies? How in the world does Yahoo get away with such poor content. I can't wait to see this group of NPC characters get schooled by the outcome of Tesla. I have attempted to see things from the yahoo perspective...however I'm not flexible enough to get my head so far in the sand...(the other version may get this review removed for hate speech against the left!) Yahoo is full of yahoo's...don't trust these lefty woke folk...

Yahoo finance could be the most important way for millions of investors to do serious financial homework and share it but the actual people who run it are almost 100% incapable and have made it worthless. Nobody in investment works harder and is smarter than the millions of individual investors who are looking for ideas and are willing to share but Yahoo has installed automated software that makes it impossible to use the site for real important research.

I can't wait for you criminals to get what's coming to you. Your journalism is bought and paid for by your masters. Zero real news comes from this criminal enterprise. Zero credibility. Zero accountability. You guys should be shut down immediately as your filling this world with bs.

The platform is lost in a previous decade or two. Clunky would be a generous assessment.
If spam is the goal of the message board than they really hit the mark.
Post are more toxic than most of the spam.
Yahoo and yahoo finance need to just die already.

Yahoo is a bunch of crooks. They told me I signed up for a subscription 2 months that I never signed up for then afterwards refused to cancel the service and even chastised me over the phone saying it's was my fault that I couldn't have my money back. I talked to two different customer service representatives and both of them dismissed me rudely and acted like I was at fault. I don't even have a Yahoo email. Poor customer service.

Have you even bothered to go and see what is there now with the new design? It is a TOTAL DISASTER! It is useless. Really, did you have any review and discussion before adopting this new design? Anyone with a bit of decency would automatically see it is annoying, useless, and a waste of time.

Yahoo recently changed their finance pages. Totally screwed up. Everybody is demanding/pleading with the execs to scrap the new version and bring back the old. Portfolio link has been down for 2 days. Links have disappeared. News stories of particular stocks are harder to find.
Fix Problem By Returning To Old Format. New One SUCKS!

Terrible still
June 14, 2018

Yahoo portfolio page used to be barely adequate. Seems lately it is getting worse and worse. Their data are in some instances is a year old. Never updated. Has become virtually useless. Lord help you if you use the portfolio page for trading.
Does anyone know a better site where you can track your stocks? Please let me know.

Yahoo Finance, have you not seen a precipitous decline in users and activity? Your portfolio format now sucks, being user unfriendly and no longer providing the information and customization that it used to. The comments application is beyond awful. To review your comment history, you are given a miserly little window to try to view them from. It's just awful. I used to be on Yahoo Finance every day. Now I rarely bother, and soon I will give up entirely. Fire the $#*!ed donkeys you have designing this stuff and hire some people who don't suck.

Yahoo now has Argus promoting recommendations through Argus at the top by the trend sheet. This is a very biased statement when often Argus is wrong. People buying and selling stocks want a consensus input. I have seen a good number of Argus recommendations that are way off. However, if the first thing the person see's from Argus is a Buy or Sell they act on this instead of valued research. It creates panic and havoc in the market space. It also impacts companies based on false input that should be unbiased.

Apparently Argus is paying Yahoo a lot of cash to get their pathetic opinion at the top of the page.

Maybe it is a result of all the advertising they are jamming into each page, but nothing works! Pages lock up constantly, links don't take you where they are supposed to, you can't even read the stock news. Total failure!
