I wonder why yahoo is messed up like that?
The page is messed up because it is Yahoo. The company can't get anything right.

This is probably a ridiculously stupid question with an obvious answer that I'm not seeing, but why use yahoo or google finance instead of your brokerage company's web site? It would seem those should have more accurate information.

For me I avoid accessing my broker unless I'm on a secure computer/network, plus it's a hassle to put in two passwords and wait for it all to load. Plus I'm used to yahoo.
I can check my 20-30 daily etf's/stocks/indexes in 30 seconds on yahoo. It takes that long just for zecco to load after my first sign in.

Over 30% of the float is currently short. I am currently neither long or short. Wish you luck in the trade over the long-term.
I'm more than happy with my trade.

I asked myself that same question but then came up with a logical answer.
The page is messed up because it is Yahoo. The company can't get anything right.

Yahoo is slow to update. As of a few days ago the PE was still wrong on AAPL after earnings were announced. Google Finance was up-to-date on it much sooner.
Same excuse for not using my broker. Why log into a secure network for a quick look-see, especially now that Yahoo shows real-time quotes?
