“This here is the Bomb!”

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

“Yahoo Finance is a scam platform”

Ken J.
10/19/24

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.

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.

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.

"You have come a long way baby" that bests describes what this website has become... Terrible. Slow, unstable, unreliable and not worth the time spent trying to use it. What a shame. RIP Yahoo Finance.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO YAHOO Services!

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?

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

Tip for consumers:
This is a sucker game run for your life

Products used:
investing in advertising campaigns money has been taken and they will not return it.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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?
