With a couple of minor exceptions, I LIKE/PREFER the new summary page. BTW, this is an incredible amount of data and you have turned it into very useful INFORMATION! I can't even imagine the COMPLEXITY behind something like this. I'm just so very, very impressed. Lot's still left to explore. :) Thank you for making my life easier! Keep up the good work!

With respect to an earlier comment, i.e. link [button] back from summary page to the portfolio page "I came from", I now see a "portfolios" link button on the summary page, however this takes me back to a list of all my portfolios instead of the portfolio I originally came from, which doesn't make sense to me. Again, I need a quick way back [from the summary page to the portfolio page] without having to click the browser back button multiple times. Really need this one! LOL! I realize the prior presentation didn't have this either, however, for my "workflow", this would be very useful.

Can you add "Fair Value", i.e. the [Yahoo] FV price as a custom portolio column? Maybe it is there, I guess I should go look. I don't remember seeing it. If it is not there, it would be a very useful addition. I just looked, I don't see it. This would be a very useful addition!

What happened to FV, OV and UV? It looks like you are now just presenting your estimate of the company's FV, which is fine. Now, I have to compare two values and make the FV, OV or UV calculation which is more work for me! I always wondered how you decided FV, OV and UV. So, now you are presenting your estimate of the company's FV? How! What is the formula for FV? This has got to be a complicated formula I would imagine. Your feedback welcome. If you still have FV, OV and UV, please tell me where I can find it. Definitely preferred the old way here ... I think. Time will tell.

If you made speed/performance improvements in this new format ... BRAVO, I can see them. Not that it was slow before. If not, please ignore this comment. I just cleared my browsing history yesterday which may be accounting for what appear to be sizable performance improvements.

The vast majority of my portfolios are not actually portfolios but "watch lists". I use the portfolio feature because of the vast ability to create portfolios with custom columns. On the new summary page, the top box in Summary, i.e. which appear to be portfolio custom columns, are useless to me because they already exist in my portfolio, i.e. if I am interested in them. So, this part is totally redundant to me and clogs the new summary page. Food for thought.

Ok, have been using a little bit, this format/presentation might be superior than the previous format. Things like this take a short period of "getting used to". Only one request, same as previous comment, add a link button from the summary page back to the portfolio page. That's all I really need. Otherwise I may have to hit the browser back button several times. With the 2 primary things I use, Profile and Chart, I believe there is now one additional click on the summary page to get back to the portfolio page because the summary page first goes to menu item "Summary". I will say the chart on the summary page is redundant and too small to be useful, which means I have to click on "Chart" menu item.

YES, please restore previous format! I could give you specific suggestions, however, ... If you stay with this format, the one thing I have to have is ... a link that immediately takes you back from the summary page to the portfolio page. I currently have to use the browser back button and may have been clicking all over the left side menus!

Please restore previous format!! No dividend, or earnings date available on the page and only gives 1/2 the information of the old summary page. This is a major step back!

The day's range gives valuable information regarding the stock's trading pattern without forcing the user to try to eyeball it from the chart. Why was this removed?

Replace the day's range in the stock charts as it was included until November 29th.

What were you thinking. Dividend yield is way more important statistic than most of what is in your stock summary pages

I agree with all previous comments, I am not tech savy enough to change the way I have
researched investing, using this service over the last 15 years. PLEASE, restore the previous
format !!!

Did Yahoo receive many complaints about the old stock summary page? I doubt that and see no reason for the new update that disorients users and removed about 50% of the information that I need to decide what to invest in.
Sites like Yahoo Finance are not normal sites, but "utilities". While updates are welcome, they should be minor and in response to a history of complaints or suggestions. If the goal is to drive users to other platforms then you have done a great job. If the goal is to give the site a modern makeover you have also a great job. However, when you update a utility with useless changes as far as the functionality and remove many useful elements, you have failed miserably.
You clearly don't understand your user base. I love that Yahoo is free and as such I put up some somethings that are annoying or don't work right. I for one would consider paying a small fee to have the site keep working as before, but as a paying member I would also like the chance to suggest improvements that I think make sense for many users.
I regularly report spam I find on the forums to make them more useful and to discourage the spammers. You should make use of your loyal users to help you.
I have other options and was just thinking about getting back into my Ameritrade account since they seem to give their users a lot of useful tools. Until now I have not really needed anything more complicated but you are increasing my interest in making a change.
Does anyone who reads this care and have the power to lobby what's in the best interest of the Yahoo Finance users? I fear that the corporate machine will roll on and ignore our pleas to "Help Us Help You!".

There is this new button "Follow". It automatically creates another portfolio called Following even if you add the stock to one of your existing portfolios. That's dumb. Take that off and go back to the old way where you could simply select a portfolio to add the stock to without automatically creating yet another portfolio of "following".
This is in addition to the lack of dividend information.
Also the news shows just a few items. You now have to click on News explicitly to get a bigger feed.
Just go back to the old summary page. It was far better.
