Market & stock price change should reflect point or dollar change & not a percentage. Share price change of $1 makes more sense than 0.6%

In the APP it's easy, but how do you do it on the desktop?

Rosetta Cavallo commented
Prior to the recent changes made to the site, the changes in the individual indexes and equities were given in numbers, not %.

Among other frustrating changes, why would you show only % gains/drops for the major indices and make people have to click around to see the actual points gains/drops? Why would Yahoo assume people don’t want to see both? YF used to be a place to get lots of info on the home page, but now it’s conformed to our “splash page” world where people only skim the info around them. Even once the issues making the new page slow and unresponsive get fixed, this new revision makes the website resemble TMZ more than a serous news source…

Totally agree with the below state statement. The new page is terrible. I don't mind change if it is useful and makes for easier use. This change did the opposite.
The portfolio details on the right sidebar needs to have the actual point differential on the day and not just the % change

you need to show price changes in recently viewed and watchlist, not % changes.

1. Slower loads, increased CPU usage, bloated memory usage (occasionally for me this spirals out of control, but I'm assuming this is some sort of interaction with my anti-virus)
2. The portfolio details on the right sidebar needs to have the actual point differential on the day and not just the % changeI'm not typically part of the 'change is always bad' crowd, but the increased CPU and memory usage sometimes forces me to completely close and re-open my browser (firefox).

To busy on page. Show price instead of percentages'

New format is totally useless. I can't find ex-dividend dates, when dividends are paid. Daily numbers are in percentages instead of numbers. Bring back the old format.

As for market watch, people want to know how much we are up or down, not just the percentage. I have found myself checking the WSJ page for concise market updates.
Change for improvement, good. Change for the sake of change, dumb and short-sighted. -

Display the markets with shares and percentage.

new layout is ******* my old eyes, why not give users the option. Please bring back the old format. Also , I agree, would prefer to see dollar instead of percentages, plus the font is so small.

How do I get the goofy little sidebar to show dollars and cents instead of percentages. The old format was much better,

Make pictures SMALL.

I don't want pictures taking half of the page. When index is displayed, delta should be displayed as in the old page.

Couldn't agree more on this!

Need to add back some of the features you removed from the main page. Have a watchlist widget and somehow show index point change (instead of just percentage) on main page. How can you call yourself a serious financial site and not show point changes of the major indicies on your start page?
