What you voted for:
Launched! New Mobile Interface: A new mobile interface was the top idea on the Product Ideas page before we launched it.

Top Ideas
The top ideas are a mix of portfolio charting, data/market requests, and education tools. Although we don’t have these yet we’re always working on new ideas.
-
Portfolio Charting: “Show historical graph of portfolio, complete with dividends, splits, etc.” “A chart to see how your earnings fluctuated in your portfolio’s investments…”
