What I found ironic was, I had to enable flash player to see your Google finance link. I guess Flash is still alive in many places.

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.

Two things here:

1. It's because Google finance is old and probably forgotten. Really answers the OP question why it's not a good idea to kill flash right now.

2. Have been trading for a while and can tell that the performance of that chart beat the hell out of any JavaScript charting tool out there. It's interesting that JS/HTML 5 is all the hype now but it's still lagging behind a 10 year old technology.

Yeah, i do find it odd that Google finance (which is used quite a bit i believe) hasn't had any life breathed into it. I'm sure its had the same design for the last decade now

Doubt it makes enough money to move the needle.

While they seemed to have abandoned Google Finance and left it in flash limbo, they do seem to be using HTML5 for stock charting whey you query google for: "company name" quote
