Posted by melissa in New Features

We are excited to add a popular new feature to the top of all our quotes pages. Now you have faster and easier access to stocks you care most about.

Ticker tape on quote summary page

The new ticker tape, prominently placed, displays the most recent quotes you last looked at. This is the same useful functionality we offer on our front page. If you want more information on a stock, just click on the name it will take you directly to that quotes page. This saves you time by surfacing the basic price information on your current page as well as no longer making you type in the symbol for the stock you want more information on.

We also offer you the option to change your preferences. If you don’t like the scrolling, then turn it off. You can also change the speed.

    The black background on the running ticker is terrible-please choose a shade of blue for the background so it blends with the rest of Yahoo Finance Content. They way it is—it really strains my eyes to read the quotes–and most of the time I dont even look at the black ticker. Some shade of blue would be better.
    Thanks

    Hey everyone……Just here to let you all know we do have an alternative plan to the ” Fiasco Bailout Failed out plan.” It is a law we already have on the books created in march 2001 By president bill Clinton directly targeted at the ” Economy.” N.E.S.A.R.A.-stands for N.ational E.conomic S.ecurity A.nd R.eformation A.ct .
    I think all americans need to know about this law and spread the word we do have an alternative to the ” bailout ” plan and that we should be using the law we already have instead of re-writing and reworking the worst ” bill”in history. Look at this website. Only a smalll fraction of what this bill does is listed here . there is a heck of a lot more this does. Research this for yourselves because it is your future and those of your family at stake here . Then contact your representatives and have them and the media cover this. Question why they are not taking this course !!

    NESARA initiates PEACE IMMEDIATELY and

    1.  Restores Constitutional Law in America as of NESARA’s public announcement.

    2.  Removes US administration officials and all members of the US Congress from their positions due to their continuous unconstitutional actions.  Bush, Cheney, Cabinet members, and all members of Congress are immediately removed from office by NESARA’s public announcement; specific law enforcement personnel shall physically remove Bush government officials from their offices. These removals allow a fresh start at the national level.  Using the Constitutional Line of Succession, NESARA installs Constitutionally acceptable NESARA President and Vice President Designates until new federal elections can take place within six months after NESARA’s announcement.

    3.  Because NESARA abolishes unconstitutional states of emergency, NESARA’s public announcement declares “peace”.  US military in Iraq and Afghanistan are immediately recalled to the USA.

    4.  As partial remedy for 90 years of government and banking fraud, NESARA requires zeroing out of credit card balances and bank debt relief be given to Americans.

    5.  Initiates the US Treasury Bank System with new U.S. Treasury currency backed by gold. The Federal Reserve is abolished; Federal Reserve facilities and most personnel are absorbed into the US Treasury Bank System.

    6.  Abolishes Income Taxes in US and creates a national sales tax on new, non-essential items as revenue for government.  Essential items such as food and medicine, and used items, are exempt from the sales tax. 

    The “National Economic Security And Reformation Act” - NESARA - provides major benefits to Americans including:  

    Forgives credit card, mortgage, and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities
    Abolishes income tax
    Abolishes IRS; creates flat rate non-essential “new items only” sales tax revenue for government
    Increases benefits to senior citizens
    Returns Constitutional Law
    Establishes new Presidential and Congressional elections within 120 days after NESARA’s announcement
    Monitors elections and prevents illegal election activities of special interest groups
    Creates new US Treasury currency, “rainbow currency,” backed by gold, silver, and platinum precious metals
    Returns Constitutional Law to all our courts and legal matters.
    Initiates new U.S. Treasury Bank System in alignment with Constitutional Law
    Eliminates the Federal Reserve System
    Restores financial privacy
    Retrains all judges and attorneys in Constitutional Law
    Ceases all aggressive, US government military actions worldwide
    Establishes peace throughout the world
    Initiates first phase of worldwide prosperity distribution of vast wealth which has been accumulating for many decades
    Releases enormous sums of money for humanitarian purposes
    Enables the release of new technologies such as alternative energy devices
    History Behind the National Economic Security And Reformation Act (NESARA)

    NESARA’s reformations are the main tools for implementing important US Supreme Court rulings made in January 1993 on several cases filed by farmers living in US Midwest and Mountain states areas against banks, specific government officials, certain judges, and others. Certain US Generals and Admirals were supportive of, and one General was co-plaintiff in, the Farmers’ Cases that went to the US Supreme Court. You may recall in the 1970’s and 1980’s there were news reports and documentaries about thousands of family farmers losing their farms to foreclosure. Willie Nelson has been doing Farm Aid concerts for years to help these farmers.

    In the 1980’s some of the farmers investigated why there were so many bank foreclosures on their farms and discovered certain banks were fraudulently foreclosing on their farms. When these farmers turned to government officials for assistance and filed lawsuits against these banks, they learned certain government officials and judges were working in collusion with the banks. The farmers also learned that certain aspects of the current Federal Reserve banking system were unconstitutional and pursued their lawsuits through the Federal District Court in Denver and other locations. Some of the farmers involved in the lawsuits were harassed by the IRS and in turn investigated the IRS involvement with the bankers. After years of lawsuits, several of the farmers’ lawsuits reached the US Supreme Court including Baskerville and Foster v. Credit Bank of Wichita, Federal Land Bank, and First Interstate Bank of Fort Collins from the Denver Federal District Court. For simplicity, I call these cases at the US Supreme Court the “Farmers’ Cases”.

    In early 1993, the nine US Supreme Court judges ruled seven to two in favor of the farmers on all major issues including that the Federal Reserve Banking system was unconstitutional, that the US has been operating outside the Constitution since March 1933, that major reformations of government and our banking system are required, and that financial redress and remedies must be provided for financial losses due to bank fraud suffered by generations of Americans. The farmers involved certain very powerful US military Generals and Admirals in their cases. These Generals and Admirals made it clear to the US Supreme Court judges that they knew the farmers’ cases were righteous and watched in the courtroom as the US Supreme Court Judges heard the cases. The presence of the Generals and Admirals is why the majority of the judges felt they had to rule properly and in favor of the farmers. Because of the extraordinary nature of the necessary reformations, the Court sealed all court records and put all people directly involved under Non Disclosure agreements (gag orders) until the reformations are publicly and officially announced.

    The Court had a duty to design and implement reformations to correct the injustices; therefore, the Court recruited experts in Constitutional Law, banking, economics, and monetary systems to work in task force groups to develop the needed reformations. During the two years these expert groups developed the reformations, irrefutable proof was provided to the US Supreme Court Judges that the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, the income tax amendment, had not been properly ratified. The Judges had no choice but to include abolishing income taxes in the reformations development process. It was also found that there had been a definite pattern of federal administrations and Congress ignoring the Constitution in laws passed since 1933. FDR took the US out of Constitutional Law when he declared a national banking emergency and amended the Trading with the Enemy Act in March 1933.

    Constitutional Law experts working on government reformations determined that to end the pattern of blatant disregard for the Constitution, it would be necessary to require the sitting US administration and US Congress to resign when Constitutional Law is restored. Following completion of the development of the reformations, the Court appointed certain experts and others to a “committee” which has authority to manage the process of announcing and implementing the reformations.

    Once the reformations were developed, the Court made half-hearted efforts to implement the reformations through an “Accords” agreement process with the Clinton administration. During that time, very little progress was made to implement the reformations. However quantities of the new US Treasury currency backed by gold were printed and shipped to certain banks in the US where the currency has sat in bank vaults for years awaiting the announcement of the reformations. When NESARA is announced, many more shipments of the new Treasury currency will be shipped to all banks in the US under guard by US military units.

    During the years of the Accords process, the Court approved a “claims against the government process” (also known as Farm Claims or Bank Claims) which was meant to provide specific financial redress to Americans, however, various groups and individuals interfered with the claims process.

    Finally in 1998, the powerful US military Generals and Admirals consulted with constitutional law experts regarding the lack of progress in getting the much-needed reformations implemented. The Generals, Admirals, and constitutional law experts all knew the US Supreme Court Judges were purposely stalling the reformations process. It was decided that the only other way to accomplish the crucial reformations was to compile all the needed reformations into a law and have the law passed by Congress. The National Economic Security And Reformation Act (NESARA) containing required reformations was submitted to Congress in 1999 where it sat with little action for almost a year. Late one evening in March 2000, a written quorum call was hand-delivered by Delta Force and Navy SEALs to only members of the US Senate and the US House who were sponsors and co-sponsors of NESARA. The members were immediately accompanied by the Delta Force and Navy SEALs to their respective voting chambers where they passed the National Economic Security And Reformation Act.

    The National Economic Security And Reformation Act provides the following, some of which will take place immediately after the official announcement of NESARA which is to be televised live from Washington, DC:

    1. Restores Constitutional Law in the USA.

    2. Requires the current US administration to resign their positions to allow a fresh start at the national level and installs Constitutionally acceptable NESARA President and Vice President Designates until new elections can take place within six months. Bush and Cheney will be resigning and the Cabinet and Appointees by the President, and all members of Congress must resign within 72 hours of NESARA’s announcement.

    3. NESARA US President Designate declares “peace” because NESARA abolishes unconstitutional states of emergency.

    4. As partial remedy for 100 years of government and banking fraud, credit card balances are zeroed out and bank debt relief is given to Americans for bank loans including mortgages, car loans, education loans, business loans, and other bank debt. Banks will be paid $9000 per each credit card account with a balance; these funds were raised in special revenue generating activities in Europe. NESARA requires other bank debts be made self-liquidating loans and US banks are instructed to use new high revenue generating processes to pay off Americans’ bank loans.

    5. Initiates the US Treasury Bank System with new U.S. Treasury currency backed by precious metals. The Federal Reserve is abolished and Federal Reserve facilities and most personnel are absorbed into the Treasury Bank System. We will be exchanging our Federal Reserve notes, which are not backed by gold, for the US Treasury currency which is backed by gold. Many bank personnel have already been trained on NESARA and the new currency is already in some banks’ vaults.

    6. Abolishes Income Taxes in US and creates a national sales tax on new, non-essential items as revenue for government. Essential items such as food and medicine, and used items are exempt from the sales tax.

    The NESARA law requires that a minimum of one time each year, there must be an effort made to announce NESARA. Three current US Supreme Court judges control the committee in charge of NESARA’s announcement. The Judges have used their overall authority to secretly sabotage NESARA’s announcement; thus each year NESARA has been blocked from being announced.

    This is why NESARA has not been announced: the people with the overall authority to order NESARA’s announcement are, in fact, blocking NESARA.
