We also provide a very convenient way, to update your stock database. For instance, in US stock market, stock code for HSBC Holdings plc, had changed from HBC to HSBC.

If you realize some stocks, are missing, or out-dated from database, just fork https://github.com/yccheok/jstock/tree/master/appengine/jstock-static/war/stocks_information, make necessary modification on the database, and send me a pull request.

Ideas

Check out the Ideas list here first. If you like a feature, add your vote.

Submitting feature requests for JStock Android & JStock - Free Stock Market Software

We need to be up front with you here. There are over a thousand of you and there are only single developer. If we tried to read and respond to every request that came in, we would never be able to ship awesome new features. We set up a special mailbox just for feature requests that we intend to review on a regular basis. Most likely, you won't get a response to your feature idea email, but we will use these suggestions collectively to influence our decision-making. In extreme cases, if our feature ideas mailbox is overflowing, we may have to empty it and start over (please don't hate us!) so that we can resume sanity. To be sure, our goal is to read everything that comes in, but we want to be up front in stating there's a chance your idea may slip through the cracks.

Email your features ideas here: yancheng.cheok [at] gmail [dot] com

Feel free to visit JStock Android and JStock - Free Stock Market Software development board.

Merry Christmas and happy holiday by the way :)

An Open Letter to MSWG - Lack of transparency in abortion of proposed listing of STM trust by Berjaya Sports Toto Berhad

Dear MSWG person in charge,

I was wondering, what minority stock holder can do, to address the below matter?

By referring to page 2, and page 10 Berjaya Sports Toto Berhad Q2 2013 quarterly report

http://announcements.bursamalaysia.com/EDMS/edmsweb.nsf/all/5810C9C705AA810248257C400035BD6A/$File/BTOTO%20Q2%20FYE2014.pdf

For the quarter

As compared to the previous year corresponding quarter ended 31 October 2012, the Group recorded a decrease in revenue and pre-tax profit of 4.6% and 20.8% respectively. The higher percentage decrease in pre-tax profit was mainly due to the corporate exercise expenses incurred pursuant to the proposed listing of STM Trust (which was aborted) in the current quarter under review. The drop in the Group's pre-tax profit would be 8.9% should the corporate exercise expenses be excluded.

To find out how much is spent for corporate exercise expenses

* All figures are in '000

127,827 (Q2 2013)

161,451 (Q2 2012) (-20.8%)

If corporate exercise expenses be excluded.

147,082 (Q2 2013)

161,451 (Q2 2012) (-8.9%)

corporate exercise expenses = 19,255 (In '000)

Even without spending RM19,255,000, we can definitely find out Singapore Stock Market is not suitable for dual listing in early stage.

So, why we need to spend RM19,255,000 to learn this simple lesson? Isn't there is something fishy behind?

I feel the entire transaction is lack of transparency? May I know, what action minority shareholders can take, to get the above question answered?

Thanks.

Migration to GitHub

In order to encourage code collaboration, we migrate our code base to https://github.com/yccheok/jstock officially.

With such move, we hope we can start to receive some external contribution from developer community.

Progress of JStock...

First, I need to apologize, due to the slow development progress of JStock this month. We are still in the process, of re-engineering stock market feed, for India and China. (Believe me, this is not an easy task)

Here is the progress so far.

Note, there are some changes on the stock code format. Previously, we are using

TATAMOTOR.NS

In upcoming version, we will be using

TATAMOTORS.N

Also, Bombay stock market will be supported, with stock code format

500570.B

There is still a lot of work to be done. We need to exam every line of code, to ensure the process of migrating from Yahoo! Finance to Google Finance will be seamless.

Please stay patient for the upcoming release. Thank you for your patient.
