Market Report

Staying informed is probably the most important factor that can affect investors' capability to anticipate the evolution of the financial markets and make a profit out of their transactions. Alongside the basic knowledge required for managing an investment, a proper set of tools is required.

Market Report is a compact, yet useful sidebar gadget that cannot be missing from an investor’s desktop. Although it only provides a small amount of information, it surely comes in handy for anyone who decides to place their finances in stock.

Market Report is installed just like any other gadget on your computer and displays a small window on the desktop, which can be moved around to any position you feel comfortable with.

The gadget does not offer detailed information about market prices, but enables you to monitor the evolution of the major indices, namely the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite index.

These three indices are some of the most representative market reference values that tell an investor the overall trend of the prices for some of the largest stock markets in the world. The values are automatically updated every 15 minutes, provided the market is active.

Clicking on the gadget title opens the Yahoo! Finance page, which holds large amounts of information for any user interested in finance.

Market Report offers you customization possibilities, allowing you to change its background color to match your desktop theme or background.

Although it is just a lightweight sidebar gadget, Market Report is capable of offering you a general idea on how the financial market is going. It is aimed to meet the needs of beginner investors, since professionals require much more advanced tools.
