I don't have the feeling that google finance is live and kicking. I think it's one of those product that will disappear soon. There are lots of broken feeds like:

I reported some but they did nothing about it.

> google finance is live and kicking

I work in finance. It's a last resort. It should be front page, but it was ignored for too many years. I think I see it once or twice a year, now.

I actually went to google finance where I could get live price feed when yahoo and my bloomberg terminal had 15min delays. Now even yahoo has live feeds too.

Yahoo finance came first and has always been better.

Whomever was scratching a personal itch with Google Finance at Google is probably rich enough to have people worry about such things now.

I end up using my broker for charting, as most of the free ones suck.
