Company News is back.

The Company News module is back; now loaded with options that bring you breaking news in multiple views to keep you informed of what matters most to you.

Ticker View
This gives you full control of the companies you want to read about. Start with customizing the list of companies (Edit). Then read them all at once (Show All). Or for a sharper focus on your watch list, selectively expand individual tickers. Any time you want, you can expand a ticker with a single mouse click. And the number of headlines shown per company is, of course, your choice (Edit).

New Portfolio View
We’ve designed this for both portfolio investors and those who just want a new perspective. All news related to a portfolio’s ticker symbols are grouped and sorted in reverse chronological order. This makes scanning news about a large group of companies easy and can help you keep an eye on portfolios you are actively managing. The number of headlines displayed per portfolio is, again, up to you.

What I like most about the views is that you can flip back and forth between them by simply clicking on the Portfolio and Ticker tabs at the top of the module. Those with big portfolios may find “Show All” and “Hide All” helpful too.

Add Company News and let us know what you think.

  2. I tried adding it and it took up half my page. Can we please get the simple asterisk back? It took up no space and gave me a quick visual that notified me that some of my companies had news.

    Unless this new format can be reduced to a reasonable size, I will just pass. No improvement in my opinion
