New Yahoo Finance Site is Horrid
The new Yahoo Finance site is atrocious!
The old site was logically laid out and worked like a charm, the new site is like some Frankenstein combination of AOL Finance and Google Finance.

Yahoo "cross talk" ban jolts bidders
Jerry Yang, how foolish can you be? You already derailed the very favorable Microsoft bid in 2008.
(Reuters) - Some potential buyers of Yahoo Inc are balking at the Internet company's demands for confidentiality that would prevent them from discussing joint bids, according to several people close to the situation.
Yahoo advisers Goldman Sachs and Allen & Co informed interested parties this week of a "no cross talk" provision, part of a non-disclosure agreement that must be signed to gain access to Yahoo's sensitive financial data, the sources said.
The provision has irked several potential buyers, including private equity firms that had planned to jointly bid for Yahoo.
They have refused to sign the nondisclosure agreement, and one source went so far as to call the provision a deal-breaker.
With a market value of about $20 billion, Yahoo is likely too big for any one party to swallow, with the exception of possibly Microsoft Corp.
But even Microsoft is considering a team bid, the Wall Street Journal said. It reported in its Deal Journal that Microsoft was working with Silver Lake Partners and the Canada Pension Plan Investment board on a proposal.
