Stock Spy 1.2.04
Publisher's Description:
Stock Spy - Have you ever seen a stock chart and wondered what made the stock shoot up like a rocket or drop like a rock?
Stock Spy is unlike any other stock chart because it helps explain what you're seeing. It clearly displays the news and company events which cause the price movements - directly on the chart. Stock Spy shows you relationship between the stock news and the stock price.
Stock Spy's unique NewsChart system simplifies stock research. NewsVolume charts allow important company events to literally, "pop up". You see at a glance how news buzz of a stock has changed over time. You can select a time range with your mouse directly on the chart and narrow your focus to the selected news. Stock news headlines are automatically displayed for your selection and the full story is always one click away.
Stock Spy includes smart: filtering, highlighting and categorization of news.
Stock Spy's FinanceTerms system works with NewsCharts to highlight import types of stock news events. FinanceTerms analyse the stock news for key terms (For example: "Upgrade", "Analyst", "SEC Filings" etc.). FinanceTerms let you mark each occurrence of these categorized news items directly on the chart so you can pinpoint when certain types of events happened and what impact they made on the stock.
Stock Spy keeps you updated with the latest news related to your stocks with Stock Spy NewsAlerts on your desktop. You are notified about important news which can make you quick profits or save you from devastating losses.

Great features but usability needs work
This program is very efficient in keeping updated on the stocks you wish to track. It would, however, greatly benefit from a session management feature so that upon restart, one doesn't need to manually create a tab for each monitored stock and load the info into each of those.
Furthermore, the manual adding of RSS feeds is cumbersome - it would help if the program could search the subfolders of a website to search for those feeds instead of returning an error message if the full path to the feed is not mentioned.

So far I`m pleased with Stock Spy
The program is excellent for tracking and keeping all RSS feeds for each stock organized together. I think it is unique in its ability to use news volume as an analytical tool. I especially like the financial keyword analysis because it scans the articles to reduce the time I need to spend finding this information.
I agree with the last review that the tab history would be nice to have. Also, the site scanning would be nice too, however I haven't had any problems with the feed setup. It's pretty easy to just drag and drop the feeds on the chart or into the Feed Manager screen.
