This program puts all info needed for investment decisions at your fingertips

I have been a user of Mastock since January 2014. This is the only program that I now use to assist me in making stock investment decisions. Let me give you a quick run through the strength of the program.

There are two extreme types of stock investors. There are technical analysts and there are the investors who decide based on fundamental information. And then there is any shade in between. Mastock is a program that will satisfy any shade of investor.

For the technical investor it has a wealth of technical analysis tools to overlay on charts and to sort stocks. There is even a programming language embedded that lets you create your own custom indicators and functions for chart overlay and to sort stocks.

For the fundamental analyst Mastock allows you to store any kind of information whether text, hyperlinks or screenshots. Anything you need to remind you what the companies you are following are about you can store and view side-by-side with a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly chart.

A click of a button will let you switch from your Notes to company related RSS news. From the menu bar you can open to the Yahoo Finance record for the company giving you access to all Yahoo Finance has to offer within Mastock.

Successful investing is all about having access to information. You want to have the information right at your fingertips. Mastock’s strength is to place all the information you need to make decision right in front of you allowing you to concentrate on information analysis rather then on spending countless hours searching for information all over the internet and then having it on a dozens of browser windows or tabs.

And the best of all, if you can live with end of day data, it is all for free. Once you bought Mastock there is no additional fee. Mastock can downloads free data from Yahoo, Google and Quandl. Quandl covers the Tokyo Stock Exchange. But Mastock does also support EODData and has a dedicated window for viewing intraday charts. To use this function just add your EODData login information into the Mastock preferences.

Mastock is also available for the iPad and iPhone. The Mastock data can be synced to the Apple cloud and will sync to all devices. Even the Notes containing diverse data types e.g. text, hyperlinks, pictures will be synced to the portable devices. Make changes to the Mastock data on the mobile devices while off-line will sync to the other devices once back online.

Finally I want to point out that the developer has been working on this program continuously since 2009. During this time he has incorporate many ideas that came from users including me. To develop successful software it is key to listen to customer. This developer really has understood that. I am sure we will see this program develop further making it even more useful.

In my opinion this stock market analysis and portfolio management software is by far the best software of this kind for the Mac and iOS devices.
