Yahoo Finance app adds watchlists

Michael LaGuardia, senior director of product management at Yahoo, writes about the new watchlists available on the Yahoo Finance app.

LaGuardia writes, “Users have long been able to create their own personalized watchlists on Yahoo Finance as a way to keep track of the companies they care about. Today, we’re taking that concept one step further by enabling users to view and follow watchlists created and curated by the industry experts at Yahoo Finance and our partners.

“With this expansion, we’re bringing our audience the best of what Yahoo Finance has to offer – unrivaled access to the latest data combined with expert insight and analysis from our editorial team and beyond.

“We’re launching with 30 thematic lists, curated by the Yahoo Finance team, our partners at Motif, Motley Fool and others. These watchlists are designed to help users discover trending topics and new investment opportunities while reducing the complexity of the markets – whether you’re seasoned analyst or new investor. Which companies are driving the autonomous car revolution? How are companies with female CEOs performing? What stocks are highly exposed to the Internet of Things?”
