As part of our constantly maintining Sargels Financial Toolbar, we check the normality of the sources inside it and their relevancy to the sub category it was first classified. As it usually on the web, we know from our experience that sometimes websites change URLs or categories, updating the content insinde pages, starting charge money for their service and more so it needs to be updated in Sargels Toolbar. From time to time, as we discover these kind of changes, we will notify you concerning that issue and will refer you to the changes we made according to that.
As a first update from these kind of changes, we found that 'RealTime from NYSE ArcaBook' source (under 'Markets' major button, 'Get A Quote' sub-button) started to charge money for its service (since January 12th), so before using it, the user need to finish a payment issue. This service, as a free one, was great for the users, both pros and non-professionals, as it gave a great real time view of the stocks and other seciruties (ETFs, etc.) market. As you know, our service, and particularly Sargels Financial Toolbar, praise in free financial services and sources, the kind that useful enough to give the user a very good tool but with no charge, as part of the specific website service. Because of that, we decide to move the source of 'RealTime from NYSE ArcaBook' to the end of the sub-button 'Get A Quote', so it will still be possible to user to reach this service, but not as a common one, like it used to be. Check the screenshot attached to see where we put it.
We always make sure that the sources on Sargels Toolbar are relevant and current, but it still possible for us to miss a specific one. If you, as a user, find a link, service or a source on Sargels that is broken, not relevant, under changes or any other kind of change that needs us to know about it, tell us, and we'll do the changes needed in order to keep Sargels Financial Toolbar most updated and relevat to us, the users.
Don't forget to share Sargels (in any legitimate way you want) with other potential users, who you think can use it and benefit from it, just like you and me.
Sargels Team

Updating: NYSE ArcaBook

We hope you all had a great weekend like we had. Through the weekend we checked some stats concerning Sargels community. First, we want to advice you to jump on our Ning's Sargels community, the purpose is to make an enhanced place for all the users to ask questions, share thoughts and comment about anything concerning Sargels Solution.You're more than welcome. Second, we find that Sargels group is much bigger now, more and more users find Sargels useful and we really appreciate your mails, we consider each feedback as a real comment on our work and how to improve it.
Now, back to our reviewing session. The next sub-button (under the major button 'Markets') is 'Financial Videos' which delivers many video sources related to the financial markets. For example, Yahoo Finance Video, all the financial news on vids from multiple financial-oriented providers, sorted by time (you can sort it by provider). The video news on Yahoo! Finance are updating very often and you get to see in one place the best covering financial news from the best source in the world. Bloomberg TV US is the TV channel of Bloomberg financial news agency, delivers the most updated news and data from the markets, with lots of interviews of the key role holders in the markets. This source is what the pros usually check so keep your eye on it to stay tunes with all the information you need. CNN Money, WSJ and Forbes Video are basically the video channel of these financial portals, giving you news, financial shows, editor's corners and more in a very updated method. Find your best source that suit you and stay tuned on it but don't forget to check the others, as they could give you new aspects about today's news. What I do want is to delay on the Financial Times Video. This source is one very enhanced, as it sorts for you the financial news into categories, something that helps to get a better control on the news you want and need. The category we chose as the most relevant is the 'Markets' tab, because this one delivers the streaming updates from the markets while the other sources (Credit Crunch, View from the Top, Companies, World, business Life and Special Reports) are more special issues' focused. Do take into your attention that Special Report is a very useful source for videos concerning unusual issues, something that could make you better updated. The BusinessWeek Video is also an important video source because it delivers more economical news and updates, more general and wider covering, not just for the current issues in the markets but more macro-economic updates and special news concering mega changes and big movements in the wide range of the financial markets.
It is very useful to get updated from financial video news, as it more convenient to sit back and let other gives you inputs and briefings, in few minutes only you can receive all the info you need from the most trusted sources on the web- for free.It surely not replace the digging in routines but surely make the updating work much easier.
That is it for this post, concerning finance & videos relations. In the next one we'll drill into ETFs, much deeper than general information. Until then, share Sargels Financial Toolbar, tell your friends and associates about it, comment posts and, as always, contact us and share your thoughts about Sargels Solution. We put on the blog all the distribution ways to spread the word of the Sargels Financial Toolbar, so do help us. If you want to stay tuned, join us on twitter.

'Markets' Button- 'Financial Video'

This post review the sub-button 'U.S. Additional Stat', which gathers underneath it, few more relevant information sources, to make the whole picture complete. These sources delivers more of general point of views, concerning movements in the major indices, something that gives the user a fundamental clue about the market and about unusual activities. The first source is Yahoo! Finance U.S. Volume Leaders, a source that shows on one page the most traded securities in terms of volume. It is also possible to sort Volume Leaders by Stock Exchange. The next source is Yahoo! Finance U.S. Price Gainers (%). This source gives a one page of the most increasing shares, in terms of stock price, giving you a picture of what abnormal movements are happening as it's happening. This source is very useful to know and maybe be a part of increasing shares or to get known with not regular activities in the market. Here also you can sort the Price Gainers by Stock Exchange. Yahoo! Finance U.S. Price Losers (%) is just the same as Yahoo! Finance U.S. Price Gainers (%) but on the opposite movement, giving you the same benefits, although be part of this list of shares meaning shorts or putting kind of options or maybe cut loses if you're already in. Most important is the fact that from this source you will be able to know about this unussual activities and to react according to them so you'll be ahead of other investors that are not familiar with all the information on the web. The next source, Yahoo! Finance Rising On Unusual Vol. is important too, as it gives you a present situation of certain stocks that rising up in an unusual trading volume. These kind of stocks are mostly unknown ones, that because of certain issue (possitive report, possitive rating, new broker or analyst covering and moer reasons), got uprise with high volume (as everyone want to be part of the celebration...). The last source is Yahoo! Finance Falling On Unusual Vol., which gives the same info as Yahoo! Finance Rising On Unusual Vol. but on the opposite position. Both of them together, gives a great view on abnormal activities, that helps you diversifies your portfolio with one time opportunities (of course in small portions).
This sub-button is pretty much the closure of all the additional information on the market, in terms of wider overview, deepen focusing and better understanding of the markets.
That's it for this post, hope that the picture of the benefits of Sargels Toolbar Solution is starting to get clearer.
We appreciate all the feedbacks we receive from you and we'll give an answer back to anyone who contact us.

'Markets' Button- 'U.S. Additional Stats'

Since our team is dealing with financial information solution, we were invited through different financial information suppliers to cover up and review their own financial information solutions, and by that maybe finding a new sources relevant to put in Sargels Toolbar, as well as recommend this solution or that to Sargels Toolbar users, if of course we will find the solution useful and relevant. We decide to give it a chance (why not enjoying to be part of some pioneering developments in the field of the financial information solutions, as we are experts for that matter). So from now, our blog will deal with three areas of postings: The 1st and most important- covering the Sargels Toolbar buttons, sub-buttons and each and every source and component that build Sargels Toolbar. The 2nd, which is part of our working, covering financial news and issues we find relevant to mention to our readers and by that to disputant arguments between us all- readers and writers. The 3rd issue would be the one we just mentioned- covering other financial information solutions, in order to give our perspective and professional opinion about these developments and to associate our reader with the new developments and solution that comes to the financial markets, both for the private investors (day traders, swingers, forex traders, solid ones and other) and the professional investors (financial institutions, analysts, traders, back office of these institutions, brokers, brokerages, banks and more).
We hope these reviews will help you to get familiar with the latest developments of the market and to part of this areas' modernization.
If you want your financial information solution to be covered by Sargels Team, contact us, we will gladly discuss with you about it.

New feature: Financial Solutions Reviewing

After very good weekend, we are here to continue the Sargels Toolbar's review. We got some nice feedbacks about our last reviews and about the fact that we clear and explain the toolbar's categories and sources. We hope you all share the same feeling about this service and about Sargels Toolbar. If you want to say something about Sargels Toolbar or in general, feel free to contact us. Now for business- reviewing. This post deals with the US indexes issue. Need to say that 'U.S. - Indices' sub-button is a simple one, applying the relevant information in a clean and clear view, with no special sophisticated ingredients. The fisrt source is the MSN Money US Key Indices page, which gives you a breif view on the major US indexes and major Sectors indexes as well. This clear view makes the indices snapshot fast and easy. The next six sources comes from Yahoo! Finance: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, NYSE, Other Indices and Treasury. All these sources are snapshots view based on Index families (as noted upwards), meaning you get in each page the major indexes of the Dow Jones family of indexes, S&P indexes' family and so on. The NASDAQ Index Performance is a NASDAQ group's page delivers a list of all the NASDAQ indexes, sorted by seperated columns. All the NASDAQ indices are available in this list. The next source is NYSE Indices, which gives you all a full list of NYSE indices, plus NYSE Arca Indices and US Indices. Both NASDAQ Index Performance and NYSE Indices gives an in depth details about each index connected, including details, changes, components, methodology, download possibility (for research uses) and more. The S&P U.S. Indices source shows a table of all the S&P family of indices and their fully detailed factsheet and methdology. This source contains all the information needed to be fully known with S&P Indexes. Dow Jones Averages Gives you a well viewed website containing all the information related to the Dow Jones indices family, including enhanced components list (with abilities to set time frame, action, dividend data related to the index components), comulative return for each index, performance, fundamentals, statistics and much more information to stay up to date concerning D.J. Indices.
Because the major indices are the most covered, the sources are more focused on these elements, from any aspect possible,and less on the insignificant ones. Right now we are thinking about adding additional indices and indices families. We will update you as changes will be made. Here we finish this post. In the next one we will review the U.S. Additional Stats sub-button so stay tuned, it is always interesting.

'Markets' Button- 'U.S. - Indices'

We started the review of the sub-button 'U.S. Capital Markets News' in the last post and here we'll finish reviewing it. Bloomberg News - Economy Gives you all the stories related to the U.S. economy. The articles in this webpage are crucial to whom macro economics plays a significant role, as the Bloomberg reporters usually updated this section with important news. The Reuters M&A News gives you access to all the latest updates that involve the M&A scene, latest group that talks M&A's and also updates about earlier M&A events which were covered. As you probably remember, we already delivered information about Mergers (click here to see the post covers this issue: Yahoo! Finance Mergers). The different between these two sources is that the one on Yahoo! Finance Mergers you get the figures and number concerning M&A issues but on Reuters M&A News you get the news behind these events. On Reuters Upcoming IPOs you can check all the news concerned the IPO market and events. This IPO subject was covered already in the same place we covered the mergers issue (check the link upward), but again, the difference between those two sources comes to expression in the facts that the source on 'Information Centers' (Yahoo! Finance IPO Calendar) is a calendar including dates for IPO events, while on Reuters Upcoming IPOs you get the news behind the IPO area. Reuters Regulatory News is a source for regultory issues, government events concerning economics and U.S. regulation topics. Yahoo! Finance Earning News delivers in one page, public companies earnings updates from several financial news agencies. Again, although we did cover an issue of earnings (Yahoo! Finance US Earning Calendar), it was a calendar of earnings updates expected, while this source brings the news behinds these events and other news as well.
Here this sub-button is over, after we coverd in two posts all the sources it contains.
Next post will deal with much more familar issue: Indices. S&P, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, NYSE and more, in the upcoming post.
Until then, as always, don't forget to share us, to join us on LinkedIn's Sargels Group, to meet us @ twitter and of course, comment on our posts.

'Markets' Button- 'U.S. Capital Markets News': P. II

In the last few days we halted our Sargels Toolbar's review as we had some financial issues to finish. But, here we are now, continuing the reviewing. This post is dealing with the sub-button 'U.S. Capital Markets News', a sub-button that includes bunch of sources which make the financial news search and updating much simpler & easier. Basically, all the sources in 'U.S. Capital Markets News' are financial news ones from different origins, like Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, Financial Times and Reuters. The first source is Yahoo! Finance Top Stories, which is great source to get updated with all the latest. It collaborate all the financial news reports from many different news agencies. The next one is Yahoo!Finance U.S. Markets, which gathered inside it a bunch of financial news that are specific to the U.S. markets (not to all regions). Again, it gets all its U.S. financial news from many different news agencies. CNNMoney Business News is the main page of CNN Money for financial news. The news on this page are written in high quality and relevancy. Bloomberg News - Exclusive is a service of the well known financial news agency 'Bloomberg'. The news in this source are very updated, written by the news agency official reporters and gives you, most of the times, a new look and commentary about certain events. Financial Times Capital Markets News is the financial news page of the famous worldwide financial newspaper. News are written by its journalists and gives you a fresh look on the financial arenas. The next source is Reuters economy news, a source that delivers all the economy news of North America (including Canada) in a very brief view. Yahoo!

'Markets' Button- 'U.S. Capital Markets News'

The last two posts dealt with few Q&A about who's Sargels Team and what our story (in the second to last post) and with a comment we had about an article written in the FT (in the last post). In this post we'll continue with the Sargels Toolbar reviewing session from the spot we stopped at: 'Markets' Button- 'Information Centers'.
Yahoo! Finance IPO Calendar: This webpage gives you a brief list of shares about to be offered, categorized to:
Pricings- List of shares with their offering price (dated).
Filings- List of companies that filed or amended their proposals (dated).

This list very useful for those who looking for investing opportunities in the offering stage.

Briefing Broker's Upgrades/Downgrades: Very important source of financial info. It gives you in one page a list of companies that were upgraded or downgraded by analysts and brokerage firms (including target share price). The list includes the last grade and the new one and also the grader name. This webpage shows also:
List of new companies getting coverage (Coverage Initiated).
List of companies that getting back a coverage (Coverage Resumed).
List of target share price changes (Coverage Reit/Price Tgt Changed). This list is very important because it gives an estimation of target price by analysts and brokerage firms, something that intent to be a reliable source to take into account.
List of companies that analysts and brokerage firms stopped their coverage on it (Coverage Dropped).
Yahoo! Finance Advances & Declines: At a glance list, divided by stock exchange, of total comapnies traded that were advanced, declined or unchanged. The list includes the volume of each direction. Again, This list is pretty short and gives only the total number per stock exchange (and in %).
Barron's Market Lab Table: This Barron's Table for major indexes gives a breif view for these majors about their weekly Highs, Lows and closures, Percent changed, 12- month Highs, Lows and changed (including percents). Also shows changing YTD (including Percentage).
Barron's Market Gauge: Barron's page that shows some price measurements about the markets, in a short breif view. It has an indicator that shows the the indexes today's and week-to-date change in % that made the overview easy.
US Stock Exchange Status: One page view of financial stock exchange working hours and their status in the USA.
Global Market Stock Exchange Status: One page list of all the financial stock exchanges in the world, thier status (Open/Close) and their working hour according to your time and their local time.
Global Market Holidays: Shows in one page all the financial stock exchanges having an holiday in a specific day (meaning the current market is close).

That's about it for this sub-button. Very useful sources are in this one, as you can get quick and easy markets overview and crucial financial (but not just) information to make the right decisions. The sources' order is as we find thier importance. Access this sub-button and get familiar with it can make your financial works much quicker and easier.

'Markets' Button- 'Information Centers' : 2nd Part

As part of the 'financial discussions' we promised to publish from time to time (check the last blog: ''Who are Sargels Team?' and other questions'), we want to share with you the interesting article on the FT: 'Bullion sales hit record in rush to safety'. It's a fascinating article discussing the fact that investors, mostly private ones, don't believe anymore in the regular (sophisticated) financial markets and prefer more and more to transfer their funds into something that from the dawn of days classified as a tradisional safe haven for turbulence days. This kind of onrush to haven of rest describe best the fact that most of the investors think it would be prudent to own some Gold in the portfolio in order to hedge the risk that the fed's aggressive actions sparks inflation. As an increment We also attached a chart that describe the Distribution of Gold Demand (under the auspices of optionarmageddon.com). As for your opinion about this behavior, we would like to hear about it so feel free to comment on the post.
As always, share us and help us spread the word of Sargels Toolbar Solution.

FT: 'Bullion sales hit record in rush to safety'

First I want to thank anyone who help us spread the word of Sargels Toolbar.
In the last days, as the posts are keep on growing, Lots of user feedback us, questioning us and say few words related to Sargels.
We noticed few issues that users keep on asking, so we collected them and will and publish all the answers we gave right here:
Q: 'Who are you Sargels Team'?
A: Sargels team is a group of financial analysts, advisers, quants, and more that work on trading and creating profits from distance and do it for fun. Originally every member comes with his insights about current issue and as a group we accumulate a decision: Invest or Not. We found out that as a by-product, we have an arsenal of well organized list of free financial information sources, divided to areas of expertise and enable each professional in our team to get his info fast and easy. Then we decide to establish a public tool to let everyone else enjoy this spring of sources. Of course we knew from the beginning this tool will be free and as a final decision, toolbar was the best way to express the solution. Two month later (as a regular conception) you get the Sargels Toolbar Solution- The Best Free Financial Tool On The Web, and we are very proud from the result.
Q: 'What is the meaning of the 'More..' link on every button'?
A: As we create Sargels Toolbar, we wanted to make it as light as possible and as enhanced as possible, but all the sources we gathered burden the toolbar as there were lots of sources. As a solution, every pro in the team mentioned the most important and vital sources he think relevants to appear on Sargels and the rest of sources, will be collected in Sargels website and make it available to everyone who needs it. As of now these links on the toolbar are not active because the collection that supose to settle on Sargels website are not yet established, something we will finish in the next couple of weeks.
Q: 'Does your team also invest actively in the financial markets'?
A: Yes we does. Actually Sargels Team is an active financial team that invest actively in all the financial markets like the medium to long term markets (bond, gov bonds, etc.), sophisticated options strategies, Forex (for the fun of it and only if we find a truely great invest opportunities), complicated Structured Products, Capital Guaranteed products that based on different kinds of underlyings (commodities, shares, ETFs, Currencies, Indices and more) and more.
Q: 'Does Sargels Team blogging on finance other then Sargels Toolbar'?
A: Sargels Team usually don't publish any of its overviews or financial desicions (unless the press calls or we get a conference invitation), But as we strat blogging on Sargels Toolbar we find it very addictive, to such an extent that everyone in the group wants to publish the next post. As a decision we will start publish from time to time posts that related to the financial markets and not just Sargels Toolbar related. Our financial posts will deal with financial forecasts (weekly, monthly and further), shares, financial opportunities and other issues we will find interesting enough to share with our Sargels community. Moreover, we will share our comments and articles that we publish from time to time in Seeking Alpha, on our twitter and as links in our blog. Hope you'll enjoy These posts as they suppose to be much more interesting and by far more current issues related (markets collapses, shares in action and more).
Q: 'Does Sargels Team has more projects in its horizon'?
A: Well, Yes, but we can't talk about it right now. As the current events effect everyone, we are thinking about new projects that related to the private investor (individuals and small to medium investing groups), meaning projects that deliver new and innovative solutions to new failures that we think we found in the markets.

These are the main questions we received in the last month so for your convenience we publish our answers here. We hope you enjoy this post as it uncover parts of Sargels Group and its intentions in the future.

'Who are Sargels Team?' And Other Questions

We are back after two days of not publishing any post regarding Sargels Toolbar, as we believe some rest is very needed to you as a whole.
So today we'll push it full throttle with the next sub-button: 'Information Centers' (under major 'Markets').
This sub-button deals with information that delivers updates and crucial knowledge so you won't be blur in the dark, meaning getting widely updated with deep financial numbers and facts about companies and their activities, General info about exchanges and more.
This sub-button is also needs close attention and because it's a little bit long, we'll split it into II or III separate posts. Let's begin shell we?
WSJ U.S. Stocks Center: Gives you, in one page, a brief look on the entire U.S. stocks market: Indices (majors and plains), advances & declines (per index), industry fast access, stock scans, analysts' ratings changes (very important to be updated with this info because when share get a down grade, it shell fall hard and immediately), IPO information, statistics, options info, gainers & decliners and much more. This page pretty summarize the trader's financial information needs.
Bloomberg Economic Calendar: A fundamental tool in order to be up-to-date with significant and crucial upcoming notifications, events, indexes and measurements changes and other key information.

Yahoo! Finance US Earning Calendar: An easy to trace page of earnings reports (EPS), including estimates of the analysts that cover the certain share. This page is also very important as it gives you fast access to public companies that about to publish crucial information (EPS).
CNBC Earning Central: An interactive view of shares about to publish their earnings report, that enable you to see the earnings reports in a map overview, meaning each share colored in a consensus level (Green- positive, Red- negative).
The reason we put two different earning sources is that each has its own benefits, Yahoo!'s one is a table sheet to see a good brief of earnings and CNBC's one is more interactive- a colored map of earnings estimates per share.
Yahoo! Finance Conference Call: Enables a fast access to conference calls made between the comapny's CEO and the analysts from the other side. This source gives you access to historical Conference Calls so you'll be able to listen to it after the live one and it also enable you to check in your own Yahoo! calendar a specific Conferece Calls (or few CC) so you'll get an automatic notification to the live conference when it will start.
Yahoo! Finance Quarterly Earnings Surprise: A source that organize in one page a list of shares that had a surprisingly EPS report, compared to the analysts' consensus EPS estimates. For those who know how to leverage that kind of information, this source give you a chance for many investing opportunities as it shows irregular behavior of certain share in the entire market.
Yahoo! Finance Mergers: Shows a list of about to become (and historical) mergers and acquisitions, the companies involve in the activity and a brief terms of the deal. Also gives fast access to news related to the event. As we are in a middle of flat market, meaning there are no upcoming deals about to happens, this list is hardly changable.
Briefing Splits Calendar: A page that shows you a table of splits events for a certain share, for the following month, including all details needed.

We'll stop here for this post, as always, to let you cover it up and get familiar with all the information here and on the toolbar.
In the next post we'll finish this sub-button. Until then, share us with friends and associates, comment on the post, share the post on your favorite distribution portals (digg, stumble, buzzup, reddit, etc.) or contact us personally if you want.

'Markets' Button- 'Information Centers'

Under the 'Market' major button, we put the 'Market Overview' sub-button. Its purpose is to apply fast access to one page in order to overview the entire markets. This feature is actually very simple as it not requires any skills to operates. Among its sources , you can find WSJ Market Data Center which gives you an excellent markets overview with major indexes snapshots, Currencies, ETFs Highlights, Mutual Funds data, quick access to charts, Most Active Stocks sorted by stock exchange, Treasuries, Commodities, Bonds, Industries and much more. In the Yahoo! Finance Market Summary you'll get a much simplier view of the market, including Updates, Highlights, Main indexes quotes and quick charts. Reuters Market carry out an overview page with Events Calendar, Market Update, Currencies, World markets News and Updates (Far East and Europe oriented), Business & Finance News and more. CNNMoney Market gives a brief of the recent and most relevant posts and news on CNNMoney with a Market Data Summary. Bloomberg Markets applies updated news sorted by regions.

BussinesWeek Markets offers an interactive map that shows for each region (based on your selection) its indices plus updated news of businessweek website.

'Markets' Button- 'Market Overview'

In the last reviewing post we talked about the 'Charts & Technical Analysis' sub-button and stopped to let you dig everything. In this post we'll finish this feature. The next source in this feature is:
iStockAnalyst Daily Technical Scans: This web page gives you a list of stocks that answers to some specifications (indicators) based on technical and candlestick screens, for NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, OTC and more. Basically this page can be uses as a brief to predefined technical parameters which make the research work easier.
StockCharts Predefined Scans: This page concentrate in on page results of stocks from predefined indicators. It categorized to: Technical Indicators, CandleStick Patterns and P&F Patterns. This page is very useful as it gives you a brief view on stocks that answer to specific parameters, specially in the P&F Patterns, where it's very hard to make accurate screens that gives you alerts to specific indicators.
StockCharts Market Summary: Gives you fast access to market facts and to technical views and charts (line, candlestick and P&F). Categorized to Major Markets, Major Indices, AMEX, Industry Indices, World Markets, Commodities, Bonds, Currencies and more. Very quick overview and charting for the entire market.
StockCharts Gallery View: One-stop to all kinds of charts for a security (line, candlestick and P&F). Make the overview of one security really Lucid, as you can see many kinds of indicators for the three graphing views in one place. From this page you can drill down per kind of chart pattern as you prefer.
ProRealTime: This Charting and Technical Analysis system is very comprehensive as it has all kinds of indicators and charting instruments. Support almost any possible indicator and technical tool and another feature it has that others don't is backtesting system with predefined parameters (even supports modifications for the backtesting predefinitions). Need to know is that this website and system requires a signup, but again, totally for free (has a premium service for charge). The free service is for end-of-day data-stream so although it's very functional, it's not much up-to-dated for actively user.

This is the last feature in this sub-button, giving you a finale for charting and technical information.
We want to thank all the user sending us comments, we appreciate it and hope this posts (including the last one explaining what Sargels Toolbar is) helps you get familiar with it.
Do share us with new users you think can get benefits from Sargels, do comment on the posts and do share your fillings and ideas with us, we're very glad to get all your feedbacks.
Next post on 'Markets Overview'- sources for general financial news.

'Markets' Button- 'Charts & Technical Analysis': Part II

We received in the last few days many personal emails from new users of Sargels Toolbar as well as those who interested in it,  questioning what is Sargels is all about. Because of that we decide this post won't talk about the features of Sargels but on Sargels itself. This is a pauza from reviewing and instead giving an overview picture.

Sargels Toolbar is a free toolbar, based on light platform, giving you a collection all the financial information on the web (while the vast majority of the sources are totally free) in a sorted, organized and categorized way. Giving categories for the sources on the web wasn't easy, but as a final product, Sargels Toolbar gives you different sections which every section define a specific field in the financial markets. Examples are:

Charts & Technical Analysis (check the last post)

Indices (info from different sources about US indices)

Information Centers (IPOs, Earnings, Calendars, Mergers and more)

Industries (key sources for industry info)

Options (all the sources for options information, including screeners, ratios, implied volatility, Greeks and more)

That's it for this post.
