The first problem I noticed was that the Today's Value column wasn't updating. It always showed a zero (0), thus the stock always showed a loss of the investment value.

The second problem I noticed was that it seems there is no way to enter a short position. Apparently it expects you will always enter a stock as a long position.

The documentation was limited at best, and the plugin wasn't very intuitive. It did install easily, but without tracking the current value and the ability to enter short positions, makes the extension basically useless for the purposes of our members at our site.

The concept is great, and it would have great potential, if these things were fixed. Another suggestion would be to be able to have it as a front page module so users wouldn't necessarily have to go to their profile page to view it.

Looks like you have not entered the correct Stock symbol. If you do it, the today's value will always come correctly
