Hey Jay,

This is really cool. One idea is it would be great if you could interface with EDGAR and gather the links to the various financial statements. The EDGAR database search/navigation is horrendous.

As another commenter said, it would be great if it could detect the company name or at least the ticker without the $.

Also, a failed query subtracts from the guest query allotment. That doesn't seem ideal as I'm first learning how to phrase my requests.

Lastly, mutual fund data would be awesome. Morning star rating, fund performance, fund assets, etc.

Thanks for the feedback!

We're definitely looking into interfacing with EDGAR as well as getting rid of the 'cashtag'. Mutual fund data is a great idea too - shouldn't be too difficult to tie in.

We have an API for a lot of EDGAR stuff & lots of it is free so feel free to give it a try: www.jivedata.com
