- SapphireSun 12y agoI don't know. Usually when I see this UI widget I think "correlation and causation" over and over. It's the rare story that definitively causes or reports on other news that causes a significant change in price. In a prestigious newspaper, showing the price inline with the article devalues the content. It emphasizes the "what's in it for me" angle rather than speaking to considered learning. If I were the designer, I'd rather include those metrics at the end of the article with more context and graphs (though I have a feeling this was carefully A/B tested). What's more is that even a few hours to a few days after a story is released, the stock price no longer has any relevance to the story since the widgets are not pegged to that point in time.
