Great for Beginners and Pros Alike!

I’m a new investor, and I have a family member who is a professional investor. I have used this program to skim through all the companies I can and to gain a starting point for learning about each one. It can show you where to start your research, and allows you to group companies in a way which helps you to organize your thoughts and gain an overview of how an industry behaves as a whole. Its interface is simple and clear, and it is easy to gain your bearings very fast. As a news amalgamater, it is extremely useful in spurring your interest in further research (it should not be used as the only source for information). The in-window browser is very functional and smooth.

MY SUGGESTIONS FOR UPDATES AND ADDITIONAL FEATURES:
- Allow the user to input how many shares they own of each company, and see a summary of their investment as it relates to the activity of those companies (total value of owned stocks based on input)
- Regarding the above suggestion: This could then become a useful training app for fantasy trading, to help individuals practice before actually investing. It could also help people to put their investing theories into practice before actually investing.
- Allow custom sticky-notes to be affixed to the symbols in your sidebar.
- Create pre-set industry groups, so that instead of just selecting a company, you can select an industry which contains all relevant symbols.
- Create a market-overview homepage which opens when the the program does, so you can see an overview of the world markets as a whole with selected news stories related to the state and condition of the markets at both the open and close of each day.

Thanks for creating this awesome, well-organized and very useful app for a new investor to have a starting point for informed decisions!
