Yahoo Finance's new website is now unusable...

Was able to switch over/back to Yahoo Finance "classic"...Former page.

They had switched me to Yahoo Finance 2.0 (without my knowledge...Still bugs to work out).

Carry on...

Tell us about it, how to do etc?

Yes, that page locks up on me...

Where I sit they created a whole new front page. Next (example), I will click on the Coke (KO) summary page, they have moved everything to different places. I can get use to that...I have to every few years, when they change their website.

Here is the problem. I'll click on the option page of KO. It shows the calls and puts like before. The problem is in their drop down bars for dates and strike prices. They freezes up!! I can't see the prices or the later dates (leaps).

It couldn't be that I am using Firefox. Once a website lets you into via Firefox, the site should run...Correct??

I'll either have to create a new account at Google Finance or Marketwatch. But, I don't think they offer option information for free...

I could just go to Schwab or Fidelity. But I want to look at the option premium of a stock (covered call), before I buy that stock/ETF. Yahoo has been great for general information. Yeah, delayed quotes and unreliable bid/asks...I get it.

Just want to see the whole picture, before I move ahead and buy a stock...

It is your browser.

Or your computer?

Yeah, I'm cheap...?

Due respect Cabin... cheap is one thing, and certainly appreciable.... but lazy is another.

I mean why not just log into your Fidelity or Schwab account and get all the real-time option data you need?

I mean yeah, it's not quite as easy as just clicking on Yahoo, but it's no harder than logging in here at ET. Two factor ID adds another 15 seconds I suppose... but if you want accurate data...

Again, no disrespect. Maybe I missed something in your query.

@vanzandt, the discussion is about bugs of YahooFinance, not about personal preferences of such data sites.

I thought it was about the OP looking for reliable data on options.
I mean... who cares about Yahoo Finance(?), albeit he cited that in his query regarding his problem.

This seems like a pretty cut and dry question:


Did I miss something?

Gonna get ignored by another newbie here... one that post 5 consecutive remarks in Feedback on 5 different threads down there telling Baron how to run this place... in the last two days... but wtf... I can't resist:
