AAPLStockDock 2.4

What is AAPLStockDock?

AAPLStockDock is a pretty lame stock ticker for one company only: Apple Computer (stock symbol AAPL). It grabs the latest AAPL stock quote and displays it in the dock, and in a floating window if you choose. I really have no idea why I wrote this app in the first place, I'm practically a commie. Why I rewrote it is anyones guess.

How do I use it?

Just double click the AAPLStockDock application to start. Then AAPLStockDock will download the latest AAPL stock quote and display it in the dock, and in the floating window, if you have it open. There are quite a few options to choose from, including having AAPLStockDock automatically update at specific time intervals, having the dock icon display only the price and change, playing sound on price changes, and more.

The apple is color coded to reflect changes to the stock value. When the stock value is going up, the apple is green. When the stock value is going down, the apple is red. If the stock value has not changed, the apple is blue. If the stock value is unknown (first download, etc), the apple will be yellow. When AAPLStockDock is downloading the latest quote, a little clock will appear in the upper left. If an error occurs while downloading, a small error sign will appear in the upper right corner, and the error will be displayed as a tooltip over the window.

Also, Edit->Copy from the menu bar will copy detailed quote information to the clipboard

What do all the numbers mean?

First line: the current stock trading price.
Second line: the latest stock price change, up or down or no change.
Third line: the current trading volume of stock.
Fourth and fifth lines are the date and time of the quote.

How much does it cost?

Free, of course. You can donate some cash if you wish, but I'll just pass it on to the ACLU out of spite.
