It'd be interesting to know how much you are paying for your data. If you're doing things legally, balance sheet data and exchange licensing for stuff like this costs 10's of thousands of dollars a year.

We're pulling as much free data as we can but have plans to transition onto a paid data source as soon as we can.

#23Near as I can tell, this site is basically Google finance with a bunch of nicely color coded indicators of various components of the stock. It looks pretty, prettier than google finance. At a glance, I can easily tell whether you think I should buy or sell that stock. This is nothing but stock market info porn. All you are doing is using web design to convince me to take seriously your opinions on whether GS or TWTR…

I disagree, I think this tool could have value in the stock screening process, where you look at 100s of stocks quickly to winnow it down to a few promising candidates. After that step, I agree with you a more traditional stock analysis data interface is better.

Oh hey, that's awesome, I was under the impression there wasn't any free data sources available. This would make FinTech way more accessible for startups. Which ones do you use?

#27Where are you sourcing the data from?

Different places right now. MorningStar, FinViz, etc. Transitioning onto paid data asap.

#29Please note that "cappio" means "loop" (as in, for hanging people) in Italian. Not sure if it's deliberate, but perhaps it's good for you to know :)

> If a person expects lots of medical care later in life, suggest them a portfolio heavy on medical stocks so that if their expenses go up, their investment does too.
How is what an individual spends in medical care correlated with medical stocks?
