Every company on the Colombo Stock Exchange in one place: prices, ten years of company figures, news and the economy. Each screen ends with a plain sentence, so you can make better-informed decisions.
Indices, biggest movers, sectors and a live map in market hours.
Ten years of figures, line by line, with pictures and a sentence a year.
Fair value by several methods, health checks with traffic lights, warnings from the small print.
Screen the whole market for value, quality or dividends, and compare a company with its peers.
Test a rule on ten years of CSE history, after trading costs, and see if it was luck or skill.
Company news, directors buying and selling, the economy, interest rates and the rupee.
Your holdings, watchlists and alerts when a price or a date you care about arrives.
Short lessons and a guided tour, written for someone who has never read an annual report.
Every screen has a short command. Buttons do the same thing, so you never have to remember them. On a phone you tap.
Example screens. Every figure is shown as letters (such as X.YZ%); the tool shows the real ones.
