➜ App description
~ Developer update, Dec 20 '12: Unless you need more than 8 tickers at a time, we suggest the newer version called ReturnFinder, which has portfolio tracking as well. A rating/review would be helpful, Thx.~
The only finance App to plot Total Return charts that include both dividends and coupon interest.
This App produces meaningful 'comparison' charts for Stocks, ETFs (Bonds, Currency, Commodities as well) and Mutual Funds, for most global stock markets, and goes back to 1987.
The App also computes instant point to point security returns over any time interval as well. So you could see the return on SPY from July 31 2011 to today, both as Price Only and Total return.
Most major finance websites provide 'price return' charts only, thus excluding critical return information that can create the problem of inversion in performance ranking (when assets are compared) and potentially misleading comparison charts. This App fixes that.
The chart date range is entirely user determined and there is no limitation on the number of tickers that can be inputted. One of the unique features of the App is that it can simultaneously plot the 'Total returns' as well as the 'Price returns' on the same ticker along with other tickers in the compare mode (use ON/OFF button), to instantly see the income yield differential.
To the best of our research, no other App or website offers the combination of features that this does. The App covers both US and Global stock markets and has history going back to 1987. The problem being rectified by the App has been written up in the WSJ (Dec 2011). There is more info on http://CorrectCharts.com and how to use the App.
FREE vs FULL Version: While all functionality is retained in the 'Free' version, it has a limitation of 8 cycles of use per day, max of two tickers and a max time span of 9 months. In this Full version there are no such limitations (earliest date 1987).
The App has been designed and developed by a US-German team that includes professionals with credentials in quant Finance (PhD) and mobile computing.
The App is being downloaded globally (Australia, Switzerland, France, Finland, Sweden, Peru, Mexico, Thailand, UK, China, Turkey, Israel, Portugal, Germany, Taiwan, Greece, Canada, New Zealand, USA...), we appreciate your interest.
