I am a long-time Yahoo! Finance user who has long sought a replacement as the site is increasingly buggy and laggy. Google Finance made me hopeful, but unfortunately they shut the project down. Enter, Atom. Atom’s app is exceptionally smooth, offers great information and research tools, and is a generally great way to track stocks both in your portfolio and in your watchlist. Additionally, the portfolio tool offers a great way to track your portfolio, and perform analytics on performance.
Additionally, Atom’s 3x a day briefing note is a great way to track the overall happenings in the market and monitor political and economic news that may affect your portfolio. It’s also great for finding stocks that are making big moves and may be worth doing further research on.
Atom’s calendar and events features are great for monitoring upcoming earnings calls and conferences which may impact stocks. I’ve also been finding their price alerts super useful for monitoring stocks in my watchlist.
While it would be great to see Atom add trading over time, and additional features over time, I understand the company is relatively new and they seem to be building features at an aggressive pace so I look forward to seeing what’s to come.
