Mobile App Index: 98.09 (-4.18%) for the week ending 5/20/2011

By comparison the Nasdaq was down (-0.89%), the Smartphone Index (FONE) was down (-1.68%), and Emerging Markets (EEM) was up +0.32% for the week.

VRNG announced earnings this week, but the expected price jump did not occur.  Given the overall light trading for this stock I managed to sell my position with a slight net gain thanks to limit orders.

ROVI continued to move upwards this week, and is not far from the peak achieved immediately following its earnings announcement.

VELT also gained this week, in what may be late recognition of the companies earnings report on 5/12.

GLUU rose after it received a BUY rating from ThinkEquity on 5/19.

COOL, AUGT, BGO were the big losers this week at 16.15%, 17.65%, and 11.88% respectively.

Presenting a watchlist on-line

The task of integrating a view of current stock details has proved more challenging than expected.    Blogger seems to provide more capabilities in this area than Seeking Alpha, which is where I started to discuss this topic.

Below please find two RSS feeds from Yahoo (you have a limit of 5 items per feed in Blogger) and a Google Reader view of the combined RSS feed.  They are updated every 15 minutes and appear to be the best ways to present this information dynamically right now, but I will continue to seek more options.  Feel free to share any ideas on the subject as I am sure that there are better approaches out there.
