Google Finance features:
Company Search — With Google Finance you can search for stocks, mutual funds, public and private companies, l using both company names and (where available) ticker symbols.
Interactive Charts — Google Finance charts correlate market data with corresponding dated news stories to help you determine if there is a relationship between them (for instance, by seeing news stories that came out about a certain company in the context of what that company's stock did that day). You can also click and drag the charts to see different time periods and zoom in to see more detailed information.
News and More News — Google Finance incorporates our Google News service, which gathers stories from more than 4,500 English news sources worldwide.
