plugins: Stock quotes galore
Posted on May 3, 2007

Stock quotes depress me. That said, anything financial has a habit of depressing me so I shouldn’t be biased against stocks. Even cash annoys me, why is it so dirty.
For those of you not depressed by stocks a pair of nice plugins from Andy @ Hillhome should make you happy. These are particularly useful if you run a financially oriented blog. Plugin one provides sidebar stock quotes, plugin two provides tooltips with stock charts. Both are presented as Beta, but seem to be pretty robust.
I love the very simple script used to deploy your quotes:
<?php get_stock_quote("NOVL,PFE,INTC"); ?>
An excellent extension to this plugin would be to allow subscribers to a WP blog to select their own batch of stocks to track, that would give an easy route to a low tech share club website based on WP.
Found at weblog tools.

thanks for posting this. Been looking for a plugin, like those and positive remarks make me more confident to give them a try. Gonna check them out further.
fyi - Not sure if it’s available as a plugin but there seems to be a similar feature running on a site called metue. http://www.metue.com. Seems to be a javascript mouse-over feature that brings up a nice little pop-up.
