Google finance
Check it out. I remain shocked that most newspapers still publish stock prices, although this will change rapidly.

I think it was Barron's that eliminated the stock tables a few years back, got waves and waves of cancelled subscriptions, and quickly reinstated the tables.
Lots and lots of older people still prefer their stock information at a lower frequency, in a paper format. Force of habit.

NYTimes has announced that come next month (4/3, IIRC) they will drop the tables.

Google did a crap job on this. Surprised they posted a site in this state. Just about any finance site, i.e., yahoo, abcnews, etc. etc. is better.

Keynes, who was no mean speculator, told someone who asked him for the secret of his investment success that he made his decisions with a copy of the newspaper, in bed, once a week before going to sleep. There's something to be said for filtering out the noise.

i have mixed feelings on the whole google finance.... it seems geared to be just a starting point for further google searches and towards the smaller investor.. which might be the goal since they could never hope to compete with others in the financial software market... i was hoping and kinda expecting cooler tools and such it being google and all, i thought odd charts and cool financial algorithms maybe? but no dice yet, but hey its beta *shrug*...
one accidental cool thing i found was the site links, so i can search for fort worth, and it will show the companies in fort worth, then i can open up each one in my browsers tabs and quickly find their job oppurtunities...thus doing a local job search via google finance

I'm surprised at the design emphasis google gives to the charts of previous stock prices.
Any intro to finance class will assume that the market has incorporated all known information into the current stock price. Future performance is independent of past performance.
When somebody displays a graph of a stock price prominently (like CNBC does all the time), I like they're trying to sell me snake oil.

Aaron, sure, but then why even bother to look at stock prices anywhere?

The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News dropped daily stock listings about one month ago.

"Any intro to finance class will assume that the market has incorporated all known information into the current stock price. Future performance is independent of past performance."
While that may very well be the case, Aadron, one must recognize the difference between the model of reality and reality itself. And there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the efficient market hypothesis is deficient. Hence the usefulness of stock price time series.

The reason the Financial Times persists with stock tables is that it's a significant source of revenue for them. On the order of £30m a year. I think it's because there's a regulatory requirement in the UK for prices to be published and the FT is the recipient of that archaic rent.
