Finance: quotes, charts, markets and your watchlist

Finance is the part of 4Search for following money and markets. You can look up a stock, fund, index, currency or coin, see its price and chart, read the news written about it, and scan the day's biggest movers, the economy and what traders expect next.

Finance is available on 4Search and 4Conservative.

#What a Finance page looks like

Every Finance page has the same frame. At the top is the site's search box, changed to search for companies, funds, coins, currencies and financial news. Under it is a strip of market gauges, and under that is the row of Finance sections.

• The market strip shows the main U.S. indexes, the volatility index, the 10-year Treasury yield, oil, gold, bitcoin and the euro, each with a small chart for the day. It slides sideways when it does not fit.
• The section bar takes you to the overview, the lists, the economy, earnings, topics, your watchlist and the comparison page.
• The Finance tab in the row of service tabs stays selected on every Finance page.

#Where the numbers come from

Each kind of number comes from a different place, and the note at the bottom of a card says which.

• Prices, charts and the key statistics come from public market-data sources. They can be delayed by up to 15 minutes, and a few foreign exchanges lag longer. See How fresh the data is.
• Financial statements and filings come from the reports companies file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
• Inflation, jobs, interest rates and growth come from the official U.S. agencies that publish them.
• News, the count of articles about a company and their sentiment come from the 4Search news index, the same index that powers News search.
• Odds come from prediction markets, where traders put prices on what will happen. They are traders' prices, not forecasts by 4Search.
• What a fund holds comes from the fund companies' own daily holdings files.
