First, let me state that we should not EXPECT amazing support for free components. However, I had a problem with this component that was solved within hours (and it turns out it was me not entering the proper apps domain setting in the component).

Second, I am using the "unstable" version 2.1.0 M1, and it works FANTASTIC for what I want, and everything that is stated in the specs.

Third, don't get rude with any developer of a free component if your support needs are not met the way you want. The developer seems very nice and truly wants to help people that have issues, but since it is free, it is not his priority. I feel he goes above and beyond to help people with this truly excellent component.

Great job! Thank you! And a donation is on its way!

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
