A while ago we launched an iGoogle Finance tab with various gadgets. We received a ton of feedback from you, and one of the main questions was "why are there no fancy finance charts there"? It was a bit of a challenge to add those nice charts using iGoogle, so it took more time than we hoped. And now... the Google Finance Chart gadget is ready for you!
Add the Google Finance Chart gadget »
We've even added a configuration option for setting the default number of days on your gadget so that it best fits your trading habits.
So go ahead and watch your favorite stock (or combination of stocks by entering multiple tickers) on iGoogle and let us know if you have any other suggestions for our fancy charts gadget. We're listening.

I was analyzing your XHR for autocompleting the symbols in finance.google.com search box. You XHR responses seem to have significant duplication, the company names occurs twice. Also you don't let the browser cache. You might want to restructure the XHR response and allow caching for a short time. Its going to significantly reduce your network bandwidth. Symbology does not change very fast.

This would be a great tool for Google to make available to blogging websites. In other words, give bloggers the code for the charts and allow us to imbed on our blog sites.

Yeah, is this feature available for embedding on our blogs. Nice feature, once again Google comes through. www.debtfreehispanic.com
Next step must be Google credit charts, I believe.
I have a comment. It is increasingly difficult to contact you guys to fix incorrect information on the companies you list. Is there some easier way to contact the finance department to correct this information?

WHY WAS THIS CHART REMOVED FROM GOOGLE FINANCE?
THE NEW ONE SUCKS.
I'M CHANGING TO MSN/MONEY
The google finance chart display under finance.google.com has a huge BUG. Basically when comparing two different symbols - say PDC and GW, you'll notice that depending on which order you add them, the percentage ratio of the symbols compare to each other should be same regardless on which was placed in first, but it is not. Try yourself...
What do I need to have to dislpay the charts? I can see everything else but them.
"Last Price" isn't good enough... what T I M E is the last price..? Dealbreaker.
Your Finance Chart Gadge is very cool but I found some wierd thing.
When I resize the Chrome browser window embedding the Google Finance Chart gadget, the chart becomes black until I reload the page. Is it a bug?
