I stumbled upon this before I read it here and it is some cool shit. You can set it to "buy" shares at a certain price and see how much you have earned. It has an interactive graph with news reports attached to the graph so you can see maybe what had caused the rise or fall in stock prices.

I love the simple interface and the lack of spam mail associated with other "finance" sites.

mercurynews[/url]]The finance section Google Inc. unveiled Tuesday continues a philosophical shift that's turning its once-pure Internet search engine into an all-purpose Web site that seems increasingly interested in getting people to stick around instead of sending them elsewhere.

The fact that webmasters receive so much traffic from Google is, in my opinion, a huge part of what made Google great. If they're making visitors stick around instead, they'll lose popularity if traffic to other sites goes down.

i agree with intelliot, to a point. one of the things that set google appart from everyone else was that they wanted users to stay on their website for the least ammount of time. They wanted the user to find what they were looking for as quick as possible.brHowever, another inovation of google is that, their products, and services seem to be much better then any of its competitors. brI found google finance this morning, i like it, much more easier to read and understand then the links it gave to yahoo's. i'll be using it alot, because i can track the progress of my stocks, without having to log into ameritrade now.span class="name"span style="font-weight: bold;" br/span/span
