Could you consider adding one more commission column based on traded value? Some kind of help/manual explaining all the numbers/concepts would be great, as they are quite confusing, especially when there are no dimensions (i.e. no $ sign). It would also be great if it was possible to customize the data source (Yahoo has very few graphs from OMX). Actually it would even suffice to open the graph in a web browser directly (e.g. maintain a customizable URL of particular stocks and use it to open page in a browser), especially given than todays sites offer even interactive graphs with news and analysis tools on the same page etc. Thanks!

I installed it in the panel on my Ubuntu Edgy amd64 computer with Gnome 2.16.1. I added some stocks and number of shares, but it doesn't display anything. I can right-click on it and then on "refresh" but it still doesn't show anything. Is there a fix? Am I doing something wrong? Is there an alternative panel utility that will work? Thanks!

Just a minor nitpick. In the drop-down stock list view, the delta of a stock is displayed as '%' instead of actual currency value. eg. INTC: 20.60 (-0.24%) where in face -0.24 is the actual value in US$. Thanks. Hi,

After upgrading to FC6, the gnome stock tracing applet was replaced by this one. Unfortunately, it does not work. I get a grey square even after adding stocks in the preferences. Any ideas how I can trouble-shoot? Thanks. Hi there.

Maybe useful add this function. Pd: A short sell, in few words lets you win when the costs down. Hello, the Investment applet is very useful, for learning proposes, but i can track a short sell.

I was wondering if you could tell me how I could get investment to take fractions as an amount. I own a few ETFS and instead of owning 120 shares of something, I might only own 118.7560 shares. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Andrew D. Anderson I was just playing with FC6 and love your investment panel addon.
