Sunday Morning Coffee

Barron's Electronic Trader column this week linked to a very neat resource that appears to be called Subject Browser but the URL is http://stocks.overthefalls.com/. Whatever the name, when the page loads you can put in a ticker symbol in the search box at the top of the page and it will load the symbol into the various websites located in the left hand sidebar. Once it loads it provides for instant toggling and the links in each window are functional.

This allows, for example, looking at the Key Statistics from Yahoo and the chart from whatever your favorite chart site is (I'm assuming Yahoo charts is no one's favorite). I did have a couple of quirks with it. One that several of the links to the left could not load, this could have something to do with my satellite based ISP (our only choice for now). The other quirk was that after a few minutes the page refreshed on its own to the Seeking Alpha page for whatever symbol was plugged in. I'm not sure if that was something I did or not but if anyone knows please leave a comment. Still this made a great first impression. I think this sort of thing might exist elsewhere but the combination of the clean interface and tabbed like loading of all the sites made it very comfortable to use.

Short post today as my hectic schedule continues until the end of the month. I've had fire department stuff Friday, yesterday and this morning I am headed out to proctor make up pack tests (three miles, 45 lbs with a 45 minute time limit--actually we get an extra 45 seconds for being above 5000 feet) for what I hope will be at least five people.
