What would a better spot price widget look like?

I don't like the look of those ones actually, The one on the right is neat.

I don't really pay attention to the graphs. I really like how goldprice has a percentage change in pricing for gold and silver from today - 5 years.

 

After watching the gullible and uninformed spread their propaganda, the graphs work for me. I take comfort in a small visual graphic with a red arrow. It reinforces the law of averages, that history repeats itself and of course reality. I don't need a price, you can just put this on the side...

 

Peter, my vote would be simple prices on 4 primary "investment" metals, gold, silver, platinum and palladium. After it would be day's gain(loss) and %.

Example:

Gold $1204.00 +$1.25 +.001%

Just what I find most useful. I agree it could just be on the pm section, because we are supposed to be a coin site. Believe it or not, not everyone who collect coins cares about pm prices. I do, most of us on this thread does, but not everyone.

 

Thanks for thinking about me, but I don't need a "Disable" feature. I like to read the whimperings of those when the price doesn't perform the way they want.

Here's a mockup.

 

You need to indicate the time at which the price is quoted.

 

that's nice!

 

The desktop gadget I have on windows 7 is simple and nice. Don't have any idea if something like that would work.

Particulars in the gadget settings

Silver and Gold 1.0

BTW the one in the above mockup is nice also.

 

Don't think so, computer software is generally programmed in a different language than what website use, which is HTML & CSS.

 

Maybe you could add a graph below each price?

 

But add the precentage increase, like +1.89. That would be neat. Thanks for all you do Peter.

 

....to the nearest nanosecond.

No No No! to the nearest picosecond! (one millionth of a millionth)

 

This brings us back to the subject of dried mud.

Chris

 

mud doesn't change at the picosecond like silver does.

 

I use Kitco's app called kcast . its just a small widget that changes from green or red
with current price and the daily change.

 

Why add the %. Just figure it out in your head in 2_1/2 seconds.
