funny answer: 99% of fund managers aren't on Stock Unlock real answer: Are those actively or passively managed funds or both? And, fund managers are people to, and the public is lead to believe they are great/good at what they do

this^ 100% The companies and corporations that sell investment vehicles and services try to "make it cool/funny" to not understand money and that "rich people have their wealth managed for them", a bunch of bologne!

Stock Unlock has 20+ years of fundamental data for 22,000 US/CAD stocks, and as of today 122,000 global stocks. And the data is high quality, we churned through 3 different data providers building our beta to find this. Finnhub is not

Thanks for this perspective, I agree that financial literacy is far bigger topic than what we cover in Stock Unlock. Further, we definitely don't cater to every person today, we have a lot of users who love us but I know that there&#x2

Ah yes, the exchanges love to keep their data private/monetized... but they are a business too so I get it. Lets definitely keep in touch, I'll check out your profile. I appreciate the support thanks! ISINs... what a mess, ha! We

You're speaking my language! I agree with everything you said. We are actually in talks with Refinitiv, they would allow us to re-sell their data on our website (bloomberg will not). Here's my two cents here/my angle. I think

We don't have any valuation models right now, we do plan to build a simple DCF model soon though! Right now one of our most asked for features is to be able to graph/project future values (i.e. net income) and show potential futur

Definitely not that deep! I would say those formulas/complex math are not things Stock Unlock believes are necessary for 99% of people to learn. Surprisingly, most people don't understand price ratios, whats each line of a financi

Thank you for all these insights! We also went "through the ringer" finding good quality financial data, that would allow us to build a consumer web app around. I think it would be worth you time to look into Finnhub, you can tell

This is a great ETF! Stock Unlock is adding support for ETF's in the next couple weeks ^_^ I would like to add, a lot of investors will have a majority of their holdings in indexes/ETFs/Mutual Funds, but that doesn't mea

Thanks for this question, we current use Finnhub ( https://finnhub.io/ ). We are also in talks with other data providers since as we scale we see ourselves connecting to multiple, but it's just Finnhub for now.

I agree with your sentiment here that gambling on stocks is bad. Our goal is to provide education and analysis tools, since we believe investing is not gambling. Even though, many people today treat it like it is. We don't make money&#

Not at this time, we simply don't have enough CS volume for a team. That being said we are in a growth trajectory to need a team likely by years end. If you're still interested then I'd love to touch base! My email is predict

Our investment education right now is 100s of interactive "?" widgets all over the site that are built from 200+ pages of definitions written by Daniel Pronk. Things like definitions, how to calculate, how investors use this, etc

People like you are awesome, again, thank you! This did result in us wanting to double check we aren't entering a grey area with our data provider.

Hi! I really appreciate this perspective, you're not wrong, but I do think there's room for a lot of investment styles. I know a lot of middle/upper class people that enjoy analyzing stocks for long term holds in companies th

Thank you so much for sharing these feedback and I appreciate the insight. I'm curious how much time you have spent on Yahoo Finance or Google Finance, almost everyone who uses those tools for over a day finds Stock Unlock and usually
