There’s a genuine scarcity of WordPress plugins for bloggers in the investment sphere. Which means I need to get to work :) Seriously…stay tuned.

In the meantime, the three plugins I’m aware of are below. The first two were created by Andrew Hill, the third by Patrick Chia.

1. Stock Quote Tooltip
This is quite nicely done. Also links to Yahoo finance, which is a nice touch. Just mouse over GOOG to see it in action.

2. Stock Quote Sidebar
Creates a list of stock quotes. Might be useful for posting a portfolio or basket.

3. Stock Chart Widget

    You might want to add my Disclosure Policy Plugin to the list. You can add specific disclosure for every company in your portfolio and then not have to worry about it while you are writing

    there definitely is a shortage.

    The Tool Tip is a great start but would be great to see some new offerings or upgrades. Tool Tip with dashboard controls to set which site you pull quote data from? quick tags for the tool tip? OR easy customization of the Tool Tip graphic display/style? A plugin that makes it easy to embed a dynamic quote/chart image in a post or page? (I’ve been toying with using Google gadgets for this but a true WordPress plugin would be amazingly useful!)

    The top two things on my wordpress wish list are plugins for 1) putting stock quotes/charts in posts that refresh each time the post is viewed; and 2) making it easier to put tabular content (columns, rows etc) in a page or post without having to hand code tables each time.

    WP-table (http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/?page_id=3) seems to be a great first pass at wish #2 (and hopefully will get updated by some coding gurus). Anything you workup towards 1 would be much much appreciated. I wish I had the time and coding skills to build one for the community myself.

    Cheers if you do and are willing to share.

    OEM Software is the same software package but without the manufacturer’s technical support service. Usually OEM Software does not include a manual, nor a fancy box. Usually, you will have to download the OEM software installation package after paying for it.

    Need to download cheap oem Aperture for MAC ?

    There is OEM software online store with free software downloads providing full version software!

    Hurry up, it’s limited offer!

    Finding good finance plugins seem like looking for water in the desert. i thought I found a great popup tool (like sqtt) on a business site called Metue but think that’s proprietary and not a plugin. (doesn’t seem to be any download or support references to it on the site, sadly)

    Would love to find a few good ones to use. Have you come up with any new finds?
