Just finished the beta of a share price lookup tool for shareworld. The tool is written in php and will look up price information from yahoo finance and will also return news items relating to the company in question.
The tool accepts company name as well as ticker symbol. Take a look at it here
Shareworld has recently published its first video on Youtube! – Its a tutorial on Level 2 Share Price systems, so if your not interested in Investing, it may not be of much use. However, please take a look anyway!!!
If I had the money, I would invest in a few stocks of companies that I like, they would be the following:
Tesco
Google
Opera Software
