“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.

I think it's been about a year since Yahoo unveiled its new Yahoo finance site. At the time it received horrible reviews Absolutely horrible. Thought I'd check back and see if they had made any improvements in response to user comments. As far as I can tell, the answer is "no."

The site absolutely sucks. And that's putting it mildly. The "news" section is almost entirely paid ads. Company press releases are few and far between. Sounds impossible? Go look for yourself.

The "comments" section was replaced by a "conversations" tab. It's bad enough that Yahoo did nothing to stop the trolling and flaming on the old site. But now the comments are listed in order of people's "reactions". It's as if a 12 year old decided that the number of "likes" was his reason for getting up in the morning.

I could go on and on but won't. I can't imagine what they were thinking. They took a site that could be used for individual investors looking for basic information and turned it into an absolute, complete, total mess. Sad but true.

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.

Tip for consumers:
DO NOT TRUST WHAT'S PUBLISH IN YAHOO FINANCE.

Yahoo Finance is User UGLY, poorly designed, unable to perform simple math (when adding securities), live support is non-existent, on line help is terrible and that's the just the tip of iceberg pertaining to this programs inadequacies. BEWARE, BEWARE!

Very helpful. I like how you can quickly enter stocks and quickly get feedback. I wish it was easier to find equity analysts for a particular stock, though- as I like seeing links to their opinions.

THIS IS A CONSPIRACY OF THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY TO PREVENT AVERAGE PEOPLE FROM GETTING ACCESS TO GOOD FINANCIAL DATA.

YAHOO! ACCEPTED BRIBES AND KICKBACKS FROM LARGE BANKS TO MAKE THE SITE LESS FUNCTIONAL!

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE STOCK MARKET!

The market value of options in a portfolio doesn't calculate correctly.
I usually get zero.
A better approach would be average bid and ask and multiply by the
Number of contracts.

The worst company I have ever dealt with
Unorganized, unprofessional, irresponsible, essentially not a professional, constant breach of obligations,
Never calls back, never follows through the scheduled appointments
Constantly rescheduling appointments
I would not wish to deal with that company to my worst enemy.

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.

The site and the app seem to work fine...
The scary part is what goes on in message boards.
Well most know to not put faith in these forums I can't help but observe, this is what I have concerns about.
The so called pumpers and shorts are actually the same, just depends on what way they want the stock to move.
Many post are deleted by the moderator if does not suite there view.
Seems possible that the pumper/shorts actually work for the site as they seem to have admin rights to the message board.
One cycle I have noticed recently is the common pumping of stocks prior to Earnings Report, then once the reports are public and the stock slides, the pumpers/shorts reset with different names/profiles.

All in all I understand why the message boards get a bad rap, seems their purpose is primarily to manipulate the stocks for the purpose financial gain.

Big surprise to most? Probably not lol not a bad place to find news or PR but that's the only positive for these forums that I can see.

Beware and as always do you own DD, lots of folks here eager to motivate you for their own purpose.

Yahoo Finance is not objective. Most articles are written by Motley Fools staff. It looks like it is owned by Motley Fools

I'm not sure where Yahoo get their numbers from, but they certainly don't reflect the real-time market in any way that's accurate or reliable. Thumbs down.

Many quotes, including foreign blue chips, are suddenly not updated for days, weeks, or months! You must always double check the information as it might be obsolete.

Just read a review of tourism to UK dated 13 Nov featuring on 21 Nov which is just a general slating of Uk using old news with no real insight of what is really happening. Rubbish.

Your new finance format for portfolios simply stinks. Data is missing, editing is a pain, and the whole new format is like buying a YUGO as compared to the Porsche that the old system was.

Yahoo finance is 90% owned by Apollo Global Management. They are a massive alternative asset management company that invest in credit, private equity and real-estate. They have over $328 billion invested in capital companies, hedge funds, non-performing loans and collateralized loan obligations.

One of the companies Apollo Global is short on is AMC Theaters. The majority of the publications on Yahoo Finance is negative against AMC because of this short position. They support and / or direct these negative articles from the likes of Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, Inside Investors, etc for the sole purpose of driving down the stock price of AMC to lessen their loss and hopefully be able to cover they short bets.

This means that nothing on Yahoo Finance can be considered accurate. It is nothing more than a web site for stock manipulation by their owners and their affiliates. The retail investor cannot put their trust into any article displayed on Yahoo Finance. Yahoo Finance is compromised and should be ignored. Follow any of their recommendation at your own risk!

Wow! I feel beyon ripped off. I tried the Yahoo Finance Premium 14 day trial and in the yahoo email search there was nothing there. In the Yahoo finance section I couldn't see where I could cancel and when I finally took it to my family member that was more saavy with finding hidden computer stuff, after some digging, they found where to manage subscriptions in an entirely different section. They DID NOT LET ME CANCEL UNTIL AFTER PAYING, 2 months had passed and I didn't use it.Crappy system and downright sneaky way to rip you off.

Tip for consumers:
Sneaky way to make you pay, free trial with no upfront asks about credit info and if you ever want to stop they ask for your card info and triple verification with codes "for your safety" what horse cr@p.

I had signed up for a free trial of Yahoo Finance to investigate if it was a platform to consider for monitoring stocks. After the free trial was up, I attempted to cancel my membership. The first month passed and I got a notification saying I was billed the $35 monthly charge. I double checked to confirm that I had canceled my membership, which I had. Then I wrote it off thinking I must have missed the deadline by a day or two. Then the next month's bill came in and I knew I didn't have any membership at this point in time. I called the customer service and they confirmed at least 1 of the accounts didn't have a membership. Then, there was a second account I did not recognize with an email and phone recover that were not mine. I requested that ANY membership charge on my account be stopped. They said I couldn't do this unless I verified the account. This was not possible as the account clearly was not longer owned by me. Most likely someone had hacked it. I offered to provide my credit card details to cancel any subscription tied to the card, but they wouldn't let me do it.

I haven't found a fix yet as my bank told me to work it out with the business.

Yahoo is the one taking my money. You think it would be easy enough to cancel the subscription. I don't even want my money back, I just want them to stop charging the card.

If you are reading this, pick a different provider. Clearly, all Yahoo cares about is profit.

Desktop Yahoo Finance now a piece of trash. Best to fire all those responsible before they ruin the mobile App...
