Yahoo should close down for good. It was never relevant and never will be.

They are popular among the young meme stock crowd so may do well with such a move. Yahoo Finance Live on youtube I know some people like to watch. I don't think its unreasonable for them to position themselves as a Bloomberg news for the younger demographic .

True....95% info on Bloomberg are freely available on internet.....most their customers are big financial institute or some retail psycho trader who is paying subscribe fee for bragging ....

Yahoo is the favorite tool for fakes gurus and scammers, believe it or not a lot of people still don't know you can pay so you can pray yourself and publish it in Yahoo, bloomberg, Business insider, etc

Finviz is good too! But yahoo finance seems to be one of the best for quickly looking at a stock.

most of the hedge fund data you find on bloomberg is completely fabricated

and the financial "analytics" you find there, if you understand what they mean you can easily calculate them yourself using a free API and a xls.

Other than that, bloomberg is a nice piece of furniture and a powerful hallucinogen.
