Widget Watch: Fidelity Market Monitor

If you are like me and have a burning desire to check on your stock portfolio compulsively throughout the day, there are many options in the world of Dashboard widgets, Apple's own included stock widget amongst them. But I just downloaded the Fidelity Market Monitor - a natural since I have accounts with Fidelity - and I'm really digging it.
The widget lets you personalize your watchlists, track your stocks and stay current on the latest symbol-specific and overall market news and conditions. It loads fast and is very easy to customize. It's easy on the eyes, too. Did I mention it's free? Well it is. Bulls and bears alike should be pleased.
Update: Alternate link download link.
Thanks, Hadley!

I love the color and sorting capabilities, but hate the 25 stock limit.... is there a similar tool (sorts quotes by % change) that does not have this limit? I watch about 100 issues with Yahoo, but it doesn't do the sorting....
mooton - I suspect it's just a temporary issue on Fidelity's site. You don't need to be a customer to use the widget. I posted an alternate download link above, from Apple's site. http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/business/fidelitymarketmonitorwidget.html
