Where do you get your data? How reliable is it?

It's nice, to the point and I really like the use of the monospaced font to make reading easier, especially any of the numbers. Any plans to allow making user accounts? I would like to keep some stocks tracked and I am looking for a new tool.

Thanks for kind workd! And yup what you are asking for is next major feature on the list; watchlists and portfolio tracking.

Nice project! Good timing too - I track my portfolio on google finance and they are turning that off in November.

What are people using for portfolio tracking? Google Finance is shutting down portfolios so I'm looking for an alternative.

I work at wallmine and we've just released a simple tool for importing Google Finance portfolios:

Let me know your thoughts!

Where do you get stock data in general? I've seen many people use the data but never obtain the data.

Is there anyway we can signup to be notified when these features come available? This is fantastic btw.

Sorry now at the moment; watch Show HN for now ;-)

We buy it from various data providers. There are some errors here and there (we fix what we can) but overall data is of high quality.

I like the overview page's pros/cons and the clean design. Nice tool, will try it out for a few weeks.

Generally third party apps will get data from market data providers like xignite etc. And where does xignite get the data? They pay for sessions to receive market data directly from all of the exchanges they care about. This data is not cheap from either source.
