Finance >> Trends >> Popular = BROKEN + always shows "Frontline LTD"

[Bruce Lee]

Over a year now, and no fix.  Please investigate!

Issue: Trends >> "Popular" always shows "Frontline LTD" for 'companies based on google searches'. 

In the "Trends" section, four (4x) tabs are shown:

"Trends >> Popular | Price | Mkt Cap | Vol "

When selected, the "Price", "Mkt Cap", and "Vol" tabs show relevant stock "Gainers" & "Losers" based on Price, Market Capitalization and Volume.  (no defect here)

HOWEVER, for the past year (since at least April 2015) displays:

"Popular searches on Google"

"Frontline LTD" (and stock price data).  No other 'popular' companies are shown.

Either this is a defect in the page code, someone has hacked Google Finance to always show 'Frontline LTD' as 'popular', or 

there's a bug in the algorithm that's supposed to return a result based on Google searches.  

 

Please investigate.  Or please give the issue to an Intern to resolve.

I'm also wondering about this? What's going on Google? No updates?
