I love the app! Keep up the good work!

I would second the scrolling ticker.

Also would it be possible to see info from news articles/msg board?

I’m using Invest 2.22.2. I love the applet, but I would like to know what the different colors mean.

Hi.

I appear to have found a bug in my version (2.24.3.1 according to the program info): When I’m trying to load the 3 year charts (”3y”), the program really displays the stock values for the last 3 months (”3m”). Is this already fixed for future releases?

Cheers, mouve

I am using it with a desktop with Mint 7 and it works fine. Great applet.

But with my laptop with either ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04, it does not works. I
always get only the message: “No stock quotes are currently available”. It seems there is a problem with connecting with the yahoo servers. I also have weather applets that connect to internet with no problem.

Any idea?

Bug #1: The ‘average change’ in the tooltip is not the average at all, but in fact just the change of the first listed stock.

Bug #2: Invest does not update quotes automatically at all.

A great upgrade for it would be an alarm function, where a pop-up tells you when an stock increased more than an estimated value.
Let me know if you like it!

@Brian:

That option is already there (sort of):

To find your symbol, go to Yahoo Finance, Menu “Investing”, “Market Stats” and then “Commodities/Futures”. You’ll find metals, oil and stuff there.

Only trouble is that, since it’s futures, you’ll probably need to change the symbol every month or so.

Love the app!

Is there a way we can include the prices of precious metals as well?
Gold, silver, etc.

As a developer I’d love to help if you could point me in the right direction.
