Peggy White, General Manager of Yahoo Finance said, "The redesigned web page commences today after being in progress for more than 18 months". She also added that "It's about laying more power in the hands of the user".

Gone is the static, two-dimensional stock chart where scrolling elsewhere on the page was required for getting supplementary data or a diverse timeline view. Instead, users can stay on the chart itself to sight main events such as splits or dividends or drag the timeline to a preferred period. Users can also type in specific dates to create a chart and contrast the presentation of multiple equities within the same graph. They can then easily print the modified chart or send it to others via e-mail.
