The Yahoo-Finance Conversation Board lets you post your opinion as long as it agrees with their stock bets, otherwise your comments are put on hold for hours and flagged as "waiting for approval". IF it gets "approved" nobody will read it because there are too many new posts anyway, so they are sneaky in the way they bury and suppress your free speech. IF it doesn't gets "approved" they will just tell you that "you violated their policy". VERY SNEAKY. Yahoo-Finance is an active participant in the stock market and hence it has a financial interest in MANIPULATING the posted information in their "free" blogs/conversation panels. BE AWARE, before you use or trust anything written on YAHOO-FINANCE. PS. The app or website is also very primitive and full of bugs. As somebody put it before me, it is like they really try to suck.

I'm writing this review through internet explorer while I wait for my chrome to recover from crashing from your website, which happens multiple times per week mind you. Stop jamming your pages with ads to the point where they constantly freeze and or crash. This forces your website to run incredibly slow. You constantly let me down.

For months, Yahoo Finance has been aiding and abetting corporate hedge funds and short sellers by unfairly manipulating its "Conversations" message board so that retail investors cannot see recent posts and deleting posts that are favorable to AMC stock. Yahoo Finance is a shill for Wall Street criminals. The "Newest Reactions" section shows comments from a month ago. Shameful.

It's hard to believe this is part of yahoo.com - finance.yahoo.com is actually useful. Loads of info. I do hate the sponsored ads in the middle of normal articles. And the layout could definitely be much better. Pretty good content overall though.

Yahoo Finance, get better please - I like Yahoo Finance. I've been using it since the late 90s. But honestly, it hasn't gotten much better. No innovations, no cool new features or analytics. Still the same junky, simple interface. Terry Semel, for $100M a year you think you could work on improving this product offering? Does anyone know of any better, free portfolio management tools out there?

Incorrect data
October 27, 2019

The TSX return is NOT correct and unless I have a useless Yahoo account/email address, you're not even able to inform the idiots of their error.
The TSX market increased slightly yesterday, but the return shows down 10% in one day, which is impossible.

I have used Yahoo Finance for more than 20 years and it was always user friendly and easy to use (5 out of 5 stars). A couple of months ago, they changed to a new format that includes (in Chrome, even though I enabled JavaScript) blanking out everything as soon as you scroll down the page. I wanted to see why DTM fell so much today and, as soon as I scrolled down to read a headline, the entire page blanked out. The major indices appear at the top of your home page and then blank out so you can't read them. If they were trying to make the site as useless as possible, they could not have done a better job. The reverse Midas touch--turn a 5 star web site into a 1 star web site.

I am far from the only user to complain about this.

It does seem to work properly in Brave, so that is a workaround, but the bottom line is that it also worked fine in Chrome until they "improved" it.

Yahoo's portfolio news is now just a bunch of sponsored ads combined with tabloid style articles. Actual financial news of companies in your portfolio are few. Big disappointment over the original format.

I can't tell you how many vital tips and links to incredibly relevant and useful tips, advice, and insights I have gotten from Yahoo Finance. Some say it has too many ads on, but they don't at all interfere with the content the user seeks

Some good some bad
June 18, 2019

I use the apple phone app. The stock page is good to very good. The general business yahoo finance articles are biased and a joke. Not a balanced look at the market. Keep politics out of your biases. Keep it up and I'll start a page elsewhere. It's a hassle, as I have been here a long time, but reading this garbage in place of a simi balance look a the world of business wastes my time. I'm not sure when this changed but I think it was a year or 2 after the election. Crazy world, picking sides is not an intellectual position.

They have changed from one format to another and were excoriated about that move by the users. But it's hard to change.

Now Yahoo is making it even easier by lying that they solved a temporary network error message when they have not.

Sad really that they do not get their act together and will drive many from their email and other services due to dissimulation and incompetence.

Longer to load (because of bigger & better ads?), more difficult to navigate. When you click a stock in the portfolio the page it takes you sf full of too many choice that require too much thought. The old page was really good, easy to navigate. You fixed something that was not broken. Hope someone buys Yahoo and fixes Finance. You should get much more user input.

Yahoo raised the subscription cost to an unreasonable level and I wished to cancel. I spent a lot of time on the phone with service reps who I could barely understand only to find that there are too many hurdles to cancellation. Even though my name matched my email address and both matched my credit card the yahoo rep refused to cancel unless I could answer their trick questions. They asked a number of questions which it was impossible for me to answer. One example was they asked how much my subscription cost before taxes, the credit card shows amount including taxes - there is no break down. Of course the Pinocchio agent script said the questions to "prove" identity was to "protect the customer" from a fraudulent cancellation- as if!
My options seem to be to pay what ever yahoo wants to charge for the rest of my life or to cancel the credit card that the subscription is billed to.

A colossal failure
April 23, 2019

Loved the app until the recent March 2019 forced upgrade. Links are unresponsive, scrolling is slow and jerky, and there is no logic in the "improvements". Articles hi-jack the page after navigating around, and then drop down. If I want to read articles, I can click News all by myself. How can I roll back to the previous version?

Wretched!
May 19, 2017

Used Yahoo Finance for years, but despise the new format. It doesn't serve my needs. I have to look at more than one page to find the information that I seek about my various real and hypothetical portfolios. Detest having to sign in or log in with personal information. If I am now forced to log in, I'll just log into my online broker's page instead to get what I need, and then stop using Yahoo altogether. That will mean I will avoid the online ads that Yahoo wants to push to me. Congratulations, Yahoo! One less viewer to report as seeing your ads. Hope that helps YOUR bottom line!

As an investor, they have a common of 200.00 to open an account but it does little this is the bait. You are then told that you will get much higher returns if you invest more. The sales pitch is relentless high pressure. They want your whole lifes saving and will promise you anything to get it. The only way they will give you back any money is if they believe you are going to invest more if they show a little trust and return some of your funds

Cant follow the discussion on AMC chat. Outdated and corrupted yahoo shills trying to help screw the retail investors by severing a line of communication. Tell me where do our constitutional freedoms matter if the people controlling our voice practice communist censorship?

Too unstable
August 15, 2019

I love the website and I was reluctant to move on, but I've had it. The countless problems I encounter trying to use it have become too much. I cant believe in this day and age you cant find someone to make the site perform correctly. Way too many glitches. Ohh and the BS click bait and sponsored content disguised as news... Crap!

The site is getting close to unusable. I have tried it with multiple browsers on different os/devices. The pages load extremely slowly, keep reframing/reformatting over several seconds, etc. ready to dump using it.
