Pros: free, quicken killer Cons: slow at certain things, not full function
Have you seen Yahoo's portfolio manager tool? Used to be just another tool where you laboriously entered all the ticker symbols in your portfolio .. yawn. Not anymore. The new "account aggregator" feature which automatically imports data from...

Pros: Finance at your finger tips. Cons: Quotes delayed 15 to 20 minutes.
If you are new to investing in stocks then make sure you have this page book marked! As a stock investor myself, I can't remember how many times I found all the latest up to date info on companies and IPO'S at Yahoo Finance. Having quick access to the...

Pros: Great Tools and Contest Cons: None
Yahoo Finance not only gives to the tools required to be a successful trader but gives you a monthly contest where you can practice your skills and even earn real dollars.
The only problem I have found is that the contest does not always...

Pros: Lots of features, dependably available Cons: 20 minute delay in stock quotes
I won't go so far as to say that Yahoo Finance is the best out there. Problem is...Yahoo is the only site I use, so I really don't have a basis for comparison. However, if all the other financial sites out there works as well as Yahoo, and offers as...

Pros: Simplicity Cons: Simplicity
A friend of mine beams with pride that his 16-year-old grandson just bought a 'first car' paid for out of his personally managed stock portfolio. This kid is likely to finance his own education. What a 'relief' that must be for mom and dad.

Pros: Diverse story offerings. Cons: No real-time quotes.
In my very humble opinion, Yahoo!Finance is simply the simple, plain vanilla best overall financial site out there. You can create portfolios, get historical stock prices, download them, news on specific companies (not just from one source), create...

Pros: clear easy viewing of whole portfolio picture Cons: 15 min delay and occasional outages
When it comes to organizing your portfolio into a readable spreadsheet type form there is no better free service available then Yahoo Finance. Once you've put in your entry price, broker fee, price alert, etc you end up with a nice easy to read...

Pros: Easy to use; lots of information Cons: Account Tracking is terrible!
I have been using Yahoo Finance for a couple of years now. I find it is a great resource for information on Mutual Funds and Stocks, as well as Financial News.
Approximately one month ago, I noticed they have an Account Management/Tracking...

It has all the latest stock market news, company news, stock prices, and the absolute best message board. Also stock price trend charts are available for 1...

Pros: simplicity, functionality, free Cons: 15-20 min delay on prices
I've used Yahoo's Finance website for over four years now and I continue to visit it every day. I like the simple and easy way I can store and edit several portfolios of my stocks. I keep my current "actual" stocks in one, and a list of stocks...

Pros: Quotes, information. Cons: None that i have found.
Yahoo may not be real-time, but unless you are a day-trader you probably don't need real-time quotes anyway. Yahoo has quotes on almost an stock, mutual fund or other form of investment that you can think of.

Pros: Fast, easy to use, wealth of information Cons: Can't adjust for distributions (but none of them do...)
I can find absolutely no reason to use any site other than Yahoo! Finance to track my stocks and mutual funds. They offer an easy-to-use system with a wealth of resources that continues to boggle my mind.
My favorite feature is their main one,...

Pros: real time quotes, fast server, reliable Cons: very bad message boards, real time quotes only from Nasdaq
As a person living in Canada and interested in Canadian stocks, I saw no use for Yahoo finance for one main reason. That reason was that Yahoo did not have a big focus on Canadian stocks. The message boards have very few posters compared to Canadian...
