Yesterday, the Headline Market Summary stopped appearing at the top of each of my portfolio pages. What gives?

Question

In addition, the format used to display the stocks I am tracking in Yahoo Finance has changed.....and for the worse. The basic info is there, but the info displayed on each portfolio page is spread out and more difficult to read. Has Yahoo made a permanent chnge? If so, it is in a negative direction.

Answer 1

I have no answer, but have the same complaint. And to make matters worse, it is impossible to contact anyone by phone to complain about this or get anything done. And I am paying for real time quotes!

Yahoo Singapore seems to be the closest to what we used to have since it has the "Set Alert" link next to "Create Transaction History" in the lower left.  This works for now, but the chances are that corporate will eventually cram their "New and Improved" format down everybody's throat, worldwide.  Sounds like a classic "Dilbert Syndrome" with too many pointy-haired bosses. . .

The view that existed before this one worked just fine - you could print a portfolio with about 40 entries on it with IE7 by selecting the stuff you wanted, go to print preview, view as selected on screen, adjust size scaling, landscape format and you got a nice spreadsheet-type printout for your historical records all on one page.  The new view effectively double-spaces the data lines and you must shrink the effective font smaller in order to fit it on one page.

Personally, I liked the previous portfolio printouts that I used to make because they came out in a very nice table with solid black header labels, block printed like an Excel spreadsheet.

One can only hope that they will look at all of the negative comments that have been posted about the "New View."
