You're probably noticing a number of exciting new changes on the Globe Investor website. They are aimed at keeping our users better informed and improving access to important financial information. All are part of us moving to a modern publishing platform guided by technology developed by The Washington Post, and enhanced by the addition of several new financial data providers.

With these changes, The Globe and Mail now provides all users access to real-time stock quotes for both Canadian and U.S. markets. You'll also see we've reintroduced press releases to our company profile pages.
