Financial Portal

Wouldn’t it be great if there was just one place we could go online to check out all of the financial stuff we’re into? Like stock quotes and trends, expert analysis of our fave financial markets, and access via chat rooms to other people who are just as fascinated by this stuff as we are—wouldn’t that be awesome?

It sure would be awesome...and the good news is that things like this already exist. They’re called financial portals, and they can be one-stop online shops for the savvy investor. These portals are typically developed by software companies, and then financial institutions (banks, brokerage firms, etc.) can customize the portal for their own business and client needs. Likewise, customers can often customize their portal view to include what matters most to them.

Okay, maybe financial portals aren’t as thrilling as, say, portals that can whip us away to another dimension where cake is good for us, it’s always sunny and warm, and everyone uses their turn signals. But having access to a portal that helps us make sense of our financial present and plan for our financial future possesses is its own kind of thrill, and take it from us, these kinds of portals are a lot easier to find.
