I usually check google finance at least once a day, and today they've totally redesigned it. Takes a bit to get used to the new layout.

Horrible. Too busy, the font size is too small.

This is just unlike google.... Too many things on same page... and font is too small..

I hope I will get used to this.

Yay! Now with less information at a glance. The news and videos I used to see are now behind tabs. The page stretches to fit my 20" monitor and looks like crap. Can you line up the change and company name under trends? The news is in 3 different forms making it hard to scan the top stories. Come on Google... stop rearranging the deck furniture and innovate!

Have to concur: Too much information in too tight of a space. I liked the old format because the items I rarely used (ie: video) were at the bottom and I pretty much never scrolled down far enough to see them. The old page had everything available on the initial screen. Now I have to click the tabs. Seems anti-googly to me.

It is a pity that it is not possible to track my own personal finance like MS Finance with tables, charts and balance sheet. I do not care about the finance information. Of course it is important, but for some people. I could domicile some stocks charts and other financial information to my screen, by only if I want to. I think it could be more practical with personal finance.

there is far too much news headlines on there rather than pure financial data.

for example – where are commodities, such as the price of gold, oil, silver etc?

what about hedge funds and their performance?

what about emerging markets, such a stock markets of eastern europe, china and india?

in short – more charts are needed, and less headlines.
