![]() So if i am most of the things on google finance website – i may not need excel(also- i can completely understand love for excel). Given I am a big fan of Google Sheets this is a great solution for my needs.I use Google finance website to create a watchlist-it also get refreshed automatically when i open it-(downside is it may not have some of custom columns which you have created-or i am not sure if it may allow to create some columns on the website itself)Īdditionally if any of the stock which i have bought it let me enter the buy amount etc so that it can track my profits or losses as well. The post is well written, simple to follow and detailed with screenshots and GIFS. Google has forced me to find an alternative solution and I stumbled upon an awesome website called %ld school value, which describes a solution using Google Drive. Where are the Share Count, Cost Basis, Market Value, Gain, Gain %, Days Gain, Overall % change? More importantly where are my transactions and how can I see an overview and the performance? Free alternative old school stock portfolio tracking They are nowhere to be seen! Clicking on ‘View all your stocks’ gives me a list of literally all my stocks I have ever looked at ( hundreds of them and I have to go through them and follow the ones I want in a list). There is now a small heading titled Market Summary and some bold words Your Stocks, yet the 3 stocks listed only give me basic price information, and I am not seeing my other stocks. ![]() There were also quick links to import transactions, edit transactions, edit portfolio, delete portfolio and I could download my portfolio to CSV. I regularly used the Performance and Transactions views to see how my stocks were performing, the latter showed me the dates I had purchased or sold stocks, as well as shares that had paid out dividends. Take the screenshot above, one click into Fundamentals and one could see Last price, Mkt cap, 52wk high/low, EPS, P/E). There were four useful views (Overview, Fundamentals, Performance and Transactions), which one could quickly click into, to see key information. I had multiple watchlists and active portfolios for different sectors, which were easily accessible in the sidebar. One could easily create watchlists or portfolio(s) and add any amount of stocks to them. It was a great, free, useful, simple website, one I updated every time I bought or sold a stock. I’ve used the Google Finance website for the past 8 years and it was something I looked at every day, because it showed me all my stocks and watchlists in one place. What is the point of that? In the good old days of Google Finance They have introduced massive white spaces and blocks of useless information, that is of no use to anyone following a portfolio. The keyword above is ‘updated’, but alas, Google have gone and totally destroyed the old finance website and have removed all portfolios and watchlists. Added some feature rich tools, which some of the well known paid financial websites use.Allowed users the ability to add lines, markers or text to the charts.Changed some of the user interfaces to be a little more flashy.We all get it, change is a good thing, but if it was up to me, I would have updated the following: Change is good, but KISS (Keep it simple silly). ![]() Today Google Finance totally sucks rocks ( and that is me being kind with my wording Google). Yesterday the Google Finance website was awesome as it has been since 2006. This is the warning message that has been on the finance website for months.
