Another September, another set of portfolio poll results. This year we have a bonus element: a "3D Look" exploded donut chart - I bet that's already caught your eye. But first a recap on what happened over the last year in the world of online financial portfolio tracking: Nothing Much. We could bemoan the lack the of new, useful features from the major sites; but that wouldn't do us any good.
So what are we looking at? The inner ring shows results for the period up to September 2009, the middle ring is for results from September 2009 to 2010, the outer ring shows the latest results: from September 2010 to 2011.
You can draw your own conclusions as to whether this is an effective way to display the results.
What I will tell is that
Yahoo! Finance is again the winner - but only by a whisker.
Google Finance got an impressive 30% of the vote, but Yahoo! Finance managed 31%. That's 3 years running that Yahoo! Finance has come out on top - which means they get to keep the imaginary trophy.
You can see the full results in the
poll archive.
The 2011-2012 poll is ready, please go ahead and vote: it's in the right column of this page. If you use a site not listed in the poll, please specify which in a comment below so I know to make it a contestant in the next poll.
