WORLDLINK LAUNCHES THE UK’S FIRST FREE REAL-TIME FINANCIAL INFORMATION SERVICE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
Worldlink, the owner of the UK and US patent for the transmission of profiled real-time data to mobile devices, is making its imobilemarkets financial service product available FREE from today. That means that anyone interested in monitoring their investments will have the same information available to them as a City trader. This will allow them to make informed investment decisions, whether they are on the move or sitting at their desk.
To take advantage of this FREE service, which is automatically uploaded to both a customer’s mobile and desktop, subscribers have to provide their name and create a password. The whole process is concluded in seconds and information such as a person’s address is not required.
In this time of increasing financial volatility, even retail investors, want to keep up to speed with what is happening in the financial markets and until now, they have had to rely on services which are at least 15 minutes delayed. As we have seen in recent months, minutes, even seconds, can see massive swings in stock markets and relying on a delayed service could mean the difference between making and losing money.
Investors are also becoming more sophisticated trading Spread, Contracts for Difference and Currencies. This demands access to real-time information so that money can be made whether you are travelling on the train or having lunch.
The imobilemarkets service provides the following:
· Stock Markets – real-time share information so that customers can watch share prices change in real-time across the London Stock Exchange, Turquoise, AIM and Plus markets
· Foreign Exchange – real-time information on a wide range of currency pairings
· Commodities – pricing information on the most popular currencies traded
· Watchlists – where you can track the performance of your own share portfolio
· News – Stock market, economic and company information can be tracked in real-time so you can find out what news and how the news affects the stock market
· Charts – customers can track the historic performance of share for example, over a five year period
The imobilemarkets product also allows you to trade via the service. Once a customer subscribes, they can take advantage of the “Broker Button” which is a telephone number linked directly to Worldlink’s share dealing service so shares can be bought and sold wherever a customer happens to be.
Neil Riches, Managing Director and Founder of Worldlink commented: “We are delighted to be able to offer customers free real-time financial information. For too long, those people who want access to real-time information have had to satisfy themselves with delayed information which is not reliable enough when making important investment decisions. A lot can happen in fifteen minutes in the stock market.
“The only other alternative to delayed information is real-time information which in some cases can cost hundreds, if not thousands of pounds for people to use. What Worldlink is doing by offering its service for free is democratising the availability of financial information and putting the most up to date information in the hands of the retail investors so that they can make informed investment decisions. Worldlink is able to do this because we own the patent to transmit profiled real-time information to mobiles and constructing the technology to bring the imobilemarkets product to market has been ten years in the making.”
