Google Finance - No More Spinning Tops?
Today, I stumbled upon the new Google Finance. The funny thing is, I use the Google finance portfolio widget on iGoogle all the time. But, for whatever reason, I guess I’ve never clicked on my stocks, as retarded as that sounds. In any event, I had been looking for a while for a chart that combined news (earnings reports, upgrades/downgrades, whatever else) with chart data so you can more easily determine the effect of different types of news on a stock. I’m sure Google isn’t the only company that does this, but its just the only one I’ve come across so far in my young investing career. So, I was looking at the chart of my stock and trying to find a way to see a candlestick chart. I looked under chart “Settings” - Nope, that’s not it. I look around the page - Nope, still don’t see it. Why is there no option to view a candlestick chart? Aren’t candlesticks the most often used chart in technical analysis. I did a quick Google search on it, and that came up empty. Is it really true…are there no candlestick charts in Google Finance? Someone, please tell me I’m wrong. I would love to use Google Finance more often…
