![]() ![]() I've read articles about Mayer not being a popular manager at Google, or getting along with the chain of command, but I don't recall her being a prime mover in shutting products down while at GOogle And I'm pretty sure she wasn't involved with shutting Picasa down, which happened in early 2016. Obviously she's not involved with Google's current decisions on Finance. What I'm confused about in particular is why the author feels the need to snarkily slam Meyer here. ![]() ![]() I'm aware that people didn't like Mayer's vision or decisions at Yahoo - I'm not one to judge because I didn't use any Yahoo products during her time there, except for Tumblr and Flickr, both of which were either left alone or made some incremental improvements. I always imagined that there'd be an easy visualization comparison between two scenarios, to allow me to "evaluate" certain buy/sell decisions I've made, retrospectively. what if I had held onto 20% of my AAPL in 2015, instead of selling and buying NFLX and UA/UAA?). What I've always wanted to do that I can't really do in an app out there, is compare my "what-if" scenarios (e.g. I just want to second this point made in the parent comment. Or you could gather groups of similar equities to track their performance and decide whether they are ripe for becoming "a new idea" (like "I believe that downturn of x is at some point going to halt, maybe then it's worth investing") > GF's UI was horrible, but they allowed to create endless amounts of those portfolios, which was really helpful for finding one's investment strategy because you could compare "ideas". > What OP's "hypothetical portfolio" means is basically the tracking of a whole set of selected equities (so in your site's case: the performance of everything within a watchlist, including a graph visualizing it plus all the common features like comparing that portfolio-graph to that of the Nasdaq, Dollar Index, BTC. My trouble was usually resolved, finding some European stock's ADR and converting the EUR amount invested to the amount of ADRs i'd have gotten in USD To be clear: not a graph where i have all the graphs of the items of a watchlist - but one line for all items combined Putting that label in quotes maybe highlights the fringeness of that niche and why Google shut it down :-( Supporting WKN or ISIN would be an improvement over GF!Īnyways, quitting your job for this is a bold step and I wish you the best! When GF still had its portfolio feature, I hoped their "re-design" would allow for more mobile-friendliness (which you address) but more importantly comparing portfolio graphs with each other.Īlso, as non-American I repeatedly ran into trouble finding an equivalent ticker sign for non-US equities. GF's UI was horrible, but they allowed to create endless amounts of those portfolios, which was really helpful for finding one's investment strategy because you could compare "ideas". What OP's "hypothetical portfolio" means is basically the tracking of a whole set of selected equities (so in your site's case: the performance of everything within a watchlist, including a graph visualizing it plus all the common features like comparing that portfolio-graph to that of the Nasdaq, Dollar Index, BTC. I've just tried to see if your site addresses those pain points and it doesn't - but I think you're halfway there. Hi Daniel, neat site and I'm really happy someone is taking this on! As the OP noted, the killer feature for me to choose GoogleFinance (GF) above all other "free equities tracking websites" was its portfolio. ![]()
