More importantly Google Finance still lacks some of the most basic information about non-US stock indices; No FTSE100, no CAC40, No IBEX nothing Typical American "myopia" as I call it; outside of the US there isn't anybody that matters so no functionality for you. The single most basic function they are also missing is the ISIN lookup, which is a security's serial number such as FR0000133308. . I work on a trading floor and Bloomberg rules, but everybody likes to have a quick and dirty link to stocks and news via browser and as pretty as Google's offering is it sucks for anybody who wants to look-up anything else than MSFT or teh NDX. Get your act together GOOG Dan, technicially it’s Google Finance, not Google Stocks, but who cares?
