In a post last week, Tracking our portfolio performance with Tickerspy, we mentioned that we were using Tickerspy to track our portfolio. We said that we like Tickerspy because it tracks the performance of each stock in the portfolio and the portfolio performance against the S&P500 and automatically updates it all on a daily basis. We wrote in the post, “It’s almost there, but Tickerspy is not entirely satisfactory. Ideally, we’d like a widget for the site that does all of this and doesn’t require our readers to open an account.” In a world of faceless bureaucracies, it’s rare to find a business that’s responsive to the needs of its customers, so we thought we’d mention the email that we’ve received from C. Max Magee at Tickerspy:
Hi,
I helped create and now run tickerspy, and I saw from a recent post at greenbackd that you are trying out tickerspy for tracking your portfolio.
You are probably aware of this, but your readers who aren’t registered with tickerspy will be able to see everything on your tickerspy portfolio page except the graph and the similar portfolios. This means that, even when not logged in, they’ll be able to see the daily, one-month, and all-time actual returns and returns relative to the S&P 500. So, at the very least, the numbers will be available to your readers even if they haven’t registered with tickerspy. (Of course, there are lots of benefits to registering for free at tickerspy. They can create their own portfolios, more easily track the greenbackd portfolio moves, etc.)
We do like the idea of an embeddable portfolio graph widget and it’s something we’ve been exploring. We’ll keep you posted on our progress there, and please let us know if there are any other tools that we might be able to offer that might be useful to you at greenbackd or just as an investor.
Best,
Max
Thanks, Max. Tickerspy has gone up immeasurably in our estimation. We look forward to seeing the “embeddable portfolio graph widget” and we’ll continue to support you as long as you continue to treat your customers this well.
