Mobile Stocks 1.0
Posted by timotheus on December 2nd, 2008 filed in Mobile WebMobile Stocks is a simple WAP page designed to easily allow a user to check the stocks they own, and see how they are doing for the day. No data is stored on the site, everything is done in the URL. To use:
-Go to: http://hithlonde.com/ms on your cell phone or other mobile device.
-On the main page, enter the stock and number of shares you own and hit enter.
-The next page shows you the info for that stock, and a place to add another symbol.
-Keep adding stock symbols in this way until you have your portfolio how you want.
And that is it. You can see the last price, the gain/loss for the day, the gain/loss factored into the number of shares you own, and the date. Underneath is a total, showing you what your overall gain/loss is for the day. It is recommended you bookmark the page, so you don’t have to enter all your stocks every time. You can refresh the page to update the quote information. Also, please note that quote data is delayed 20 minutes.
Mobile Stocks is WML-based which, although isn’t always pretty, should be compatible with nearly every cell phone or mobile device. One exception to this is the iPhone, which doesn’t support WML. The financial data comes from yahoo.com.
