How to Use Yahoo Finance to Research Stocks

When I wrote last week’s Money Minute on Shorting Best Buy, I mentioned that I used Yahoo Finance to get the ratios and numbers for my quick evaluation. I like using finance.yahoo.com because it has a very clutter free interface with just the right amount of information I need to make a quick decision of whether or not I want to move forward with more in depth research.

 

So I decided to post a video tutorial on how to use Yahoo Finance to begin your online equity research. You can get information on how to use the information you find on their Key Statistics page in our previous article about using financial ratios to invest.

    Yahoo Finance is great. I love how accessible some of their ratios and financial information is. Work that would take me hours pouring through financial statements is right there in a matter of seconds.
