Google Finance
At first glance, Google Finance doesn’t appear to have anything that all of the other finance websites don’t have. That is…until you pull up information on a particular company and see the charts. This is where Google Finance really shines. Enter in a name such as Microsoft or Apple and you’re treated with an interactive chart that allows you see news/events as they correspond with the stock price. You’re also able to focus the chart on a specific time period(by expanding the scroll bar above the chart). Once you do this, Google automatically updates to show the news for the specified dates.
Other nice features is the detailed information given on the management of the company. For instance, according to the info on Apple, Steve Jobs, age 51, is the CEO and Director of Apple and has been so since 1998. His yearly compensation is $1 and he has $5 Million+ in exercisable stock options.
Overall, Google Finance looks to be a great tool for the day traders abound.
