Palm Pre App Catalog. 30 Apps in 30 Days. Day 29: Express Stocks
I have to admit that I have never been one to dabble to deep in the stock market. Most of my money is in IRAs or index based funds. Plus, I rarely want to have the values too close, because looking at how much money I am constantly losing can get a bit depressing these [...]
