Interactive Q&A comin' up!

Posted by Katie Jacobs Stanton, Group Product Manager, Google Finance

A core tenet of Google is to "focus on the user and all else will follow." The Google Finance team shares this view and as such, we spend a lot of time conducting user research, meeting with power and novice users of online finance, and reading your emails and comments to this blog. This week, we wanted to try a new idea, which is to set aside a period of time to have an interactive Q&A session on this blog.

Here's how it will work: please write your suggestions and questions about Google Finance in the comments section below this post. We will start reviewing and responding to all comments (except comments that are off-topic!) immediately and will respond in a meta-post on Thursday, July 19th around 9am PST. If there are more submissions than we can comfortably answer in a single post, we'll carry over the selected questions to Friday and answer them then.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Google Finance portfolios will now accurately reflect the split, showing your purchase of 100 shares in Transactions view, but accurately reporting your current holdings as 300 shares in Performance view. At the same time, your cash value will now be $2,459.69, thanks to all the dividends GE has since your purchase. For those of you who have been monitoring your stock performance, we know that...

Real-time quotes for China!

Posted by Matthew Simmons, Market Data Gnome What's hot in the world of finance? At least one correct answer must be "China". Over the past several years, the world has seen the economy of this enormous nation grow at a breakneck clip.
