The watchlist is a great way to manage, track, and analyze all your holdings. These can include currencies, ETFs, mutual funds, and stocks. Use the charts, summary visualization, and more. There are even company pages so you can view their earnings, financials, and other statistics.

There are top videos posted on the home page, within articles, and the news section. If audio is more your thing there is analysis and interviews from all kinds of key players in the industry. There are photo galleries and slideshows highlighting the news from the world.

Additional features include being able to search the news pieces, access all the latest stock prices, and share articles by Facebook, Twitter, and email. When you're reading you can also adjust the contrast and font size.
