If you’re an active trader, you probably rely on technical analysis. If that’s the case, Google Finance is probably not robust enough for you. You can certainly use Google Finance as a news tracking device for stocks that you may want to keep a closer eye on. But for seeing the real-time stock movement that active traders need to enter and exit positions quickly, you may want to look at our MarketBeat All Access service, which gives you access to our suite of web-based research tools, our library of premium reports, our full database of 500,000 stock ratings, our real-time news feed, our portfolio management tool, and our premium daily newsletter.
Google Finance is a good, if perhaps flawed, a tool that is useful for investors who are looking to get a snapshot of how the stocks in their portfolio are performing. The interface gives them a curated experience that they can use to create watch lists, news alerts and other information customized to their portfolio.
