Slightly (but only slightly!) OT: Alternative News Providers to Q?

Question

So it seems (at least, I haven't seen progress made in months) that the ability to have corporate news items returned on OSU to view in PORTFOLIO view isn't forthcoming to Q. Does anyone have a pointer to a website as an alternative? It would be one that allows a simple registration of corporations (by symbol) that you are interested in to be able to, in a single click or view, see many relevant headlines for these corporations in one view. This would be as opposed to having to click on individual symbols. In other words, a functional replacement of what Q used to do.

I miss this ability in Q and will check with them again as to when (if?) they ever expect to be able to re-provide this needed (for me) function.

Happy New Year all!

Thanks Marty - I do hear Yahoo finance is one of the better financial sites in general.  I'll give it a try.

Marty's suggestion is a good one, Yahoo has a number of nice info facilities. To save time, I set up a "Stocks" folder in Start|Favorites and filled it with shortcuts to the stocks I'm interested in. For instance, create a shortcut named Terex Corp and fill it with

. This will take youdirectly to the Yahoo Headlines page for Terex bypassing all the Yahoosignon folderol. Replace the three letter 'tex' with the 2,3 or 4letter symbol for exchange listed stocks. For Bulletin Board or PinkSheet stocks use (symbol).ob or .pk instead ( spkl.ob ). Personally,I prefer going first to the 5 day charts (15 minute delay) such as

or

and then occasionallygoing to the other functions headlines or company events etc.
