      • Server issues are interfering with my long prefered method of reading Stock news

        My prefered way of reading news headlines for specific stocks is no longer working correctly lately. It consistently results in Server Errors. Working occasionally but for the most part has returned server errors. Up until lately it has worked forever.

        http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=Ticker1,Ticker2,Ticker3,Ticker4+Headlines

        Replace ticker1-4 with real tickers, add as many as you like.

        This method allows me to use one screen to pull up a big list of stock quotes using standard methods; while using a second screen to pull up nothing but headlines as was workable long ago before you changed things. Correct whatever server issues are now getting in…

                • Get rid of Motley Fool, Seeking Alpha, and Wall Street Cheat Sheet from Newsfeed for Stocks

                  I have found 2 errors with analysis in a series of Seeking Alpha articles. Seeking Alpha, Motley Fool, and Wall Street Cheat Sheet are reckless organizations that have NO BUSINESS commenting on stocks, as they do not take responsibility for the quality of their articles. It is financial malfeasance, and needs to be abandoned.

                    • Get rid of motley fool in new headlines

                      How can I get rid of Motley Fool from the News headlines. Basically, they are and have been a scam operator of "news" (aka free advertising for them) that offers little in the way of actual news or good opinions but instead uses Yahoo news as free advertising b/c Yahoo news permits them do so. Everyday, under a myriad of different tickers, I read the same news headline "Is XZY the perfect stock?" and other such idiocies. Rarely does Fool offer any new insight, but there is ALWAYS a tagline at the end to pay for their subscriptions. They have…

                              • how can we block some news feeds. Some of these news items are nothing more than advertising lures for some research or garbage.

                                I want the ability to block some news feeds because they are more advertising than they are market commentary or company news or research. There is usually something about a company and then a pitch to subscribe to some great research from some unknown expert.
                                If I want research I will pay for it from reliable sources.

                                  I have trying for THREE weeks to add/edit my holdings. When I press "save", all I get is this message: "Portfolios are currently under maintenance, sorry for the inconvenience. We are working on a solution and will be back shortly." THREE WEEKS! How long does it take to perform "maintenance"??

                                    • trying to change portfolio constantly redirected to log in. Rediculous.

                                      log in OK as usual. Edit portfolio redirects to log in again, and again. Endless loop. Makes the portfolio function useless.

                                        • Yahoo stock message boards have never been worse!

                                          Yahoo needs to revert their message boards back to the old format and with the previous ignore function whereby posts from people you put on ignore were invisible (and not just grayed out.) Yahoo's message boards get worse with every revision and I cannot understand why they don't listen to their members feedback. I converse with many long time contributors and I cannot find one that likes the new format or the new "ignore feature" which really doesn't ignore those annoying posters and spammers.
