Qatar is a relatively small oil producer. It is unlikely that they could affect the price of oil or create real economic distress for Saudi Arabia.

Completely agree on the charting percentage, and the options chains.

Thanks for the feedback on the font and news line. For the news line, do you mean that you'd prefer more text to show up in the news section?

We're looking into that. Thanks for being really helpful about it.

It's coming from Crypto Compare right now. We've been told to look into Coinige. Definitely open to feedback here!

Yeah, IEX is helpful for many of the stocks, and we use a few other APIs to supplement.

We don't have that now, since we're prioritizing other things.

Hopefully we can include that down the road.

(And thank you! Appreciate you taking a look.)

This is a super helpful set of points. I've always had similar questions to your AAPL/NFLX/UA examples. I think the insight here, is that brokerage accounts and most sites treat your "list" as binary - you either "own"/"track" something or you don't.

In reality, you're tracking a lot of opportunities, and every decision you've made represents several different scenarios. It should be as easy to look back on a scenario (AAPL versus NFLX+UA performance over the last 3 years) as it is to see the performance of any of those specific securities.

You should also be able to easily see that your "biotech" list outperformed your actual portfolio, or that your "tech" list is outperforming your "European companies" list (or whatever else).

We probably won't go too deep into backtesting various strategies, as there is powerful software for that today, but we definitely can support the analyses in this thread.

Thank you! I think I just fixed it, but we have work to do on components like that.

Yeah, this is awesome. We absolutely need to have that.

I appreciate the points about ISIN and tickers. We'll need to be thoughtful about how we handle that, and definitely should support more than just the U.S. exchange tickers.

Agreed. It's shockingly not supported by ReactiveSearch, which we're using right now. We'll be replacing the entire search experience as soon as possible.

Possibly - I'm curious what you had in mind? Could you tell me any more about the use case?

That's great to know, thank you. We'll prioritize being able to show the charts with and without dividends reinvested.

Ah good call, thank you. We've optimized some things on the app, but have a lot more to do.
