How this works
When a factual error is found, the page is fixed and an entry is added here with the date, what was wrong, and what the source actually said. Entries are never removed. Pre-publication catches are logged too, because a process that only records the errors that escaped is not a record of the process.

15 August 2026 · Google Finance manual entry no longer exists
Published error, live from 3 August to 15 August 2026. The Google Finance portfolio page carried a section headed "The manual way, step by step" which instructed readers to choose Investment or Add investment, search for a symbol, enter a share count and price, and select Save. No such flow exists. Checked in the product on 15 August 2026, selecting Create portfolio offers only two routes: upload a file, or describe your holdings in plain words. Editing is conversational as well, through a box reading Describe the changes to make.
The instructions described the product as it worked before the June 2026 rebuild, which is exactly the failure the page's own opening line warns readers about in other guides. The section was replaced with steps taken from the live interface, with screenshots carrying the date. A second finding was added at the same time: a portfolio created from a plain-language description records the share count but leaves the transaction date, price and amount blank, and the resulting total gain figure equals the entire position value at zero cost basis.
The rule this produces: an interface described from memory or from a vendor's feature list is not verified. Instructions get written from the screen, on the day, with the date attached.
3 August 2026 · Broker cash interest rates
Caught before publication. A draft of the lowest cost brokerage page stated that one large broker paid 3.97 percent on uninvested cash and another paid 0.05 percent, and built a headline figure on the gap. Both numbers came from a reputable third-party editorial source and neither survived first-party checking.
The rate at the first broker depends on which core position the account uses: its FDIC-insured sweep paid roughly 1.82 percent in April 2026, while its government money market options yielded around 3.32 percent in late February 2026. The second broker's sweep is tiered by balance, and a separate programme of its own paid 3.26 percent from July 2026.
The page was rewritten around what the disclosures actually say. The rule that third-party editorial is a lead rather than a source dates from this.
3 August 2026 · Sector allocation in free trackers
Caught before publication. An early draft claimed that a major free tracker does not show sector allocation without payment, and positioned our spreadsheet against that gap. The provider's own help documentation shows asset and sector diversity in its metrics view on a free account. The claim was removed and the comparison was rebuilt around what is actually missing, which is the annual cost of holding the account.
