Stocks Meteor Application

The presentation displays each stock in several time period charts, to stay attuned to recent and more historical performance. Each chart (column) time period can be adjusted, but defaults to 10 years, 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days.

If the user signs in then a personal set of stocks and time periods can be kept, and are not visible through the application to any other users. Otherwise, a shared/public/demo set is used.

The application and data is hosted at http://meteor.com, so the Android app will not need regular updates. The Meteor application may be separately updated. One planned change is to provide the user the ability to set the number of chart columns, currently fixed at 4.

Reuters stock symbols are used for the charts; these symbols are case sensitive. The 'Symbol' field value is used when a chart is clicked, the user is then taken to Google Finance using that symbol; these symbols are not case sensitive. There could be some improvement here; however, this application began as an experiment with Meteor yet is useful to quickly scroll through a set of stock charts.

For each entry, select 'e' to populate the edit controls with the selected stock. Select 'X' to delete the entry. To add a stock, in the 4 fields (Tag, Company, Reuters [Symbol], [Google Finance] Symbol) enter the respective values. Tag is just an aid to group charts, and is used for sorting the displayed list.

The browser used in the application is webkit based. The android application has a few helpful controls, namely "<", ">", and "F5". These respectively provide "back", "forward" and "refresh" functionality for the content. In between the "<" and ">" is a slider, which controls Zoom -- on a per-web-page basis.

Best for Tablets and Phablets.
