The partly “unintenational intentional” post about Google Finance Canada that was posted last week in the Official Google blog is now official. Google officially launches Google Finance Canada which is as you guessed a localized version of Google finance tailored fit for Canadian investors.
The Canadian Finance portal features:
Top financial news from Canadian sources
- Search with a preference for Canadian companies
- Front-page high level economic data from the Bank of Canada
- Portfolios in Canadian currency (or the currency of your choice)
- Equity data from the Toronto Stock Exchange, TSX Venture Exchange, and Canadian mutual funds
