I have not seen much feed back from the folks at Yahoo concerning the various suggestions being made at this site - this does not seem promising. I'm not suggesting you shouldn't post complaints here - please do (I have). Maybe some Yahoo upper manager will visit this site and see that a mistake has been made. Hey, it could happen - Yahoo finance was once a really good site.
Based on the lack of Yahoo feedback, however, you may want to also start looking for another financial site. People have suggested the sites listed below. If you have good or bad experience with them, or know other good sites, please add a comment below.
POTENTIAL SITES: Market Watch, FINVIZ, Seeking Alpha, Bloomberg, Tradingview, FT.com, WSJ, Morningstar, Ycharts (is not free), Tiingo, and Swing Trade Bot. (I did try Google financial, but it was too basic.)

I particularly miss the old option to compare a company with others in the industry. The comparisons weren't always appropriate but there was a lot of useful information such as number of employees, financial numbers, etc. I also miss the old way of presenting news. Going back a few years, the news used to be very through and simple to access. Now because of all the ads mixed in I don't trust the news. I don't like the complicated way the headlines for the news are written either. Often I can find the important news on google finance and avoid searching through all the verbiage on yahoo. I would have been glad to pay for the site as it used to be. It could have been made a lot better but instead it seems to have put an emphasis on ads and the site has lost much of its credibility. There was a time when I spent time on the site everyday but since the recent change there are days I don't even open the site. I think yahoo finance was the first worthwhile free site for investors but its value was squandered and it is regrettable.

The layout is awful requiring much more scrolling and hunting. This is basic information that's present on your main competition of Google Finance. The main thing Yahoo got better than Google Finance was the collection and layout of news stories. This new layout ruins that one key difference and literally removes any reason for me to stay using the site. The ad placement and promoted stories really just inject too much of a 'sales pitch' onto the site, and should really be adjusted. Bottom line is that the new layout is extremely bad and should be scrapped as a whole. I can assure you I will stay with Yahoo finance for only as long as I can continue finding ways around being forced into the new format. (https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/)

Otherwise I will leave wholesale and just get used to Google Finance news feed. Also - as a side note - I've always been cool with change... this isn't a who moved my cheese situation... Some people really hate any changes; but that doesn't mean all change is good either.

Please do not be the Yahoo Employee who ignores this overwhelming feedback and forces this issue. If you're looking for a way to increase ad revenue or leverage the YF strengths, don't undermine the best aspects of it to monetize the cannibalized remains. It will not be worth it.
