   I know this is a bit off topic, so vote me down if need be... But have you ever considered advertising on public transit? It's actually cheaper than you might think. I'm from Toronto and recently came across this article about advertising o

    Jakarta, thanks for the feedback! Our tool also calculates how much your stock is worth, so to be able to combine that with a relative value approach would be pretty powerful. We're adding it to the list! We calculate Cash ROIC, not ROIC, b

    Dude, great feedback! We'll work on the portfolio view. I think we'll probably just get rid of the Overall column to fix the elided issue. Also, we'll definitely show the graph, just in miniature, as you suggested. Re the analysis view, a g
