Fidelity Market Monitor for the iPhone

I'm going to honest with you, dear reader, I know next to nothing about stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. This blogger's little mind just can't wrap itself around financial matters, but our friend's at Fidelity Investments make it their business to help fools like me. Today, Fidelity has launched the Fidelity Market Monitor for the iPhone (and your iPod touch too!).

The Market Monitor is a web app that lets you track 25 stocks or mutual funds, gives you access to charts, stories about those stocks on Fidelity.com, and the ability to click a link and call Fidelity (in case you have a hot stock tip you must act on right away).

This differs from the iPhone's stock widget in both the source of the stock information, and the added bonus of links to related Fidelity news posts. Does that make it better than the Stock widgt? That's up to you to decide, I'm too busy gathering some money to buy a bridge in Brooklyn from this nice guy I know.

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!
