We are proud to announce the release of StockMarketEye v2.3.5 for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.

The main new feature of this release is the Portfolio Totals view. To see the total of all your portfolios, select the “Portfolios” item in the folder’s list (first item in the list of Portfolios and Watchlists on the left hand side of the StockMarketEye window). You’ll see the total market value of all your Portfolios along with the percentage gain, day’s gain and many others. You can even configure the columns you see by right-clicking on the column headers and selecting “Configure Columns”. Alternatively you can open the column configuration window via the Preferences, “Columns” tab.

There are a number other important new features such as support for recording stock splits, capital gains and return of capital transactions. Below is a complete list of the additions and changes in this version of StockMarketEye.

StockMarketEye was born out of a desire to better understand the workings of the stock market. Having a few dollars to invest, I was looking for an application that could help me track interesting stocks that I had come across on the web or in print. But every application that I found was complex and difficult to use. So being a professional software developer, I decided that the best thing to do was to write my own software.

Et voila! StockMarketEye was born.

After about 9 months of work, the first version of StockMarketEye was released on September 15th, 2008. It was quite a bit different from the StockMarketEye of today. No Portfolios. No Charts. Just basic watchlists. But bigger and better features were on the way.

Version 2.0 of StockMarketEye was released in February of 2009 and contained basic support for Portfolio tracking. The combined power of having unlimited watchlists and portfolios within one application opened new doors for StockMarketEye users.

In August of 2009 we released version 2.2 of StockMarketEye. This was the first version to display historical, end-of-day stock charts, visually enhancing the power of our Watchlists and Portfolios.

StockMarketEye continues to regularly release new features and enhancements. We are always interested in hearing from our users so that we can provide them with software that truely does help them to keep their eye on the market.
