Description: Show Me The Money is a configurable Perl/Tk stock ticker program
smtm, which is a not overly clever acronym for Show Me The Money, is a
simple stock ticker application. It creates and automatically updates a
window with stock quotes from Yahoo! Finance. When called with one or several
stock symbols, it displays these selected stocks, and also records the
symbols for later use. When smtm is called without arguments, it reads the
symbols tickers from a (default or specified) file. This file can be created
explicitly by calling the Save option from the File menu, or implicitly
whenever smtm is called with one or more symbols.
.
smtm display the full name of the company, the price change and the
percentage change. Loosers are flagged in red. smtm can be used for North
American equities, as well as European ones. It should work for other markets
supported by Yahoo! Finance. Due to the limitated amount of information
provided by Yahoo! UK Finance for the non-North American quotes, only the
symbol (but not the company name) is shown. The quotes are delayed,
typically 15 minutes for NASDAQ and 20 minutes otherwise, see Yahoo! Finance
for details.
