    Map of the Market - SmartMoney

     
    http://www.smartmoney.com/marketmap/
    Taking the visual display of stock info into a new realm
    4/11/2000
    There's nothing new about the visual display of stock information. Charts showing the rise and fall of a particular stock or group of stocks have been around for a long time. The Web, of course, has made them more easily available, not to mention updatable, customizable, downloadable and generally more usable for the average investor. Smart Money's Map of the Market, however, takes the visual display of stock information into a new realm, providing the kind of tool usually found only in high-end systems on the desks of traders and portfolio managers. This colorful application groups stocks into sectors and shows, at a glance, which are doing good, bad or indifferent over the past day or over a three-, six- or nine-month period (your choice). A click of the mouse allows you to drill down within a sector (seeing, for instance, in the same map-like presentation, how Software, Hardware, Semiconductors and Internet are doing within Technology), or to pull up information about a particular company, including news, financials, ratios, and other information from Smart Money's general site. All of this information is readily available elsewhere, of course, but check out the Map of the Market, using their pre-set selection of stocks or your own portfolio, to see how the mind can follow the eye in keeping tabs on the ups and downs of market activity.
