Five Google Finance Tips to Help You Earn More

Google Finance offers numerous benefits to investors, though many people don't take full advantage of the site. What first appears to be a simple financial news site is actually a valuable tool in money management. Best of all, the features on this site are free of charge. Below are five tips for getting the most out of Google Finance.

1. Stock Comparisons – Not only does the site offer live stock quotes, you can also press the "compare" tab so that you can track several companies side by side. In addition to that feature, you can compare the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and NASDAQ all at once.


2. Stock Archives – Believe it or not, Google Finance stores 40 years of stock data on the site. All of this information is at your disposable for free. If you would like to graph how a company has performed in the past, it is very simple to choose the years when a stock chart loads.


3. Social Networking – Want to discuss finance with other investors? Google Finance hosts many online discussion groups so you can network with people and learn more about money management.


4. Investment Assistance – If you are new to investing or just want to learn more about Google Finance, the site offers a very informative Help Center. There, you will learn how to personalize the site to suit your needs as well as how to read stock charts and analyze data.


5. Investment Portfolios – Why pay for expensive investment portfolio software when you can design your own on Google Finance? You will need to start a free Google account to use this feature, but that will only take a few moments to create. Your portfolio will help you to manage your various investments and the information stored there will be private.

LinkedIn Profiles of Anonymous PF Bloggers

Over the years, I have been able to figure out the identities of some previously anonymous bloggers. A few (not many) of them have a public LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn for those who are not familiar is a professional networking site. Here are a few of the bloggers that I've identified:

The Digerati Life: http://www.thedigeratilife.com/blog/
Blogger Name: Silicon Valley Blogger
Real Name: Gia Lipa
LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/gia-lipa/0/262/784

Saving To Invest: http://www.savingtoinvest.com/

Only names of bloggers with a public LinkedIn profile are listed. Many bloggers either don't have a LinkedIn profile, or have a private profile that can't be published here. If anybody knows of more blogger identities, please let me know.

My Favorite PFBlog

I was shocked to learn that the November 2007 issue of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine named PFBlog.com as the best personal-finance blog. Perhaps they meant the best commercialized personal finance blog. If this guy ever wrote anything useful about personal finance, it was not recently.
