Google Finance - now with random number generator feature!



  • I have a modest portfolio of stocks invested, and keep track of it using Google Finance's portfolio system.

    In general Finance Portfolio has been a good system, but since Monday the totals have gone.. mad.

    As I type this email it tells me cost basis of my shares totals £4,920,540, and the current market value is £255,356. Neither figure is remotely correct. I'm not sure how they did this since the same figures for each share are correct; so maybe Javascript cannot add up. That I could believe..

    This reminds me of what happened recently in Sweden

    According to the Exchange spokesman Carl Norell has no order of that size team into the system. Instead, it is about a parsing incurred in exchange system due to a technical error. The order, Norell writes in an email, anullerades, but still remains a problem why the index derivatives market is closed since just before 10 am this morning.
