Yahoo finance also lets you download stock and dividend data, whereas google just charts it and shows it to you..

Overall I would add that if you are following the price of a given stock or even major index, finance.google has a noticeable lag compared to wsj.com .. including both intraday and posting at close... Also, another great thing about wsj.com and finance.google is that you can create portfolios to monitor your holdings... and if you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can trade in fake money, buying and selling stock and index funds... and the portfolios will track your gains or losses (overall and daily), so you can gain some experience without putting funds at risk. Jim,
