2iQ Research introduces Stock Pilot, a smart and easy to use Firefox Add-On for stock information research

13th January 2009, Frankfurt, Germany - Developed in association with Rocket Rentals, their partners in this endeavor,this highly effective and time saving tool can identify over 11.000 stocks on 20 of the most important financial websites and financial news providers. It also offers the possibility to choose and customize RSS Feeds directly, a feature surprisingly not yet introduced or offered by similar developements. Using an advanced matching technology and algorithm, 2iQ Research and Rocket Rentals have developed what someday could become the standard browser add-on for internet users interested in detailed stock information. Currently exclusively available as an add-on for Firefox, the Stock Pilot should be available for further browsers and mobile devices in the near future.

Patrick Hable, CEO and Co-Founder of 2iQ Research, was looking for a tool that not only finance professionals as himself, but also private investors interested in detailed stock information could install and use easily.

"We were looking for something to save time in researching stocks on the internet. On an average users click up to four times before finding the stock information and content they were initially looking for.

Less popular financial websites with very interesting information will be boosted by Stock Pilot, as their content is made available at a fingertip.

The according links are offered you can reach your goal immediately. 2iQ's cleverly programmed add-on offers you this and even more interesting features, such as innovative financial RSS Alerts and an integrated RSS Feeds from Marketwatch.com (MarketPulse) & Fool.com (Headllines).

User comments on Mozilla Firefox's Add-On Page are positive. "This is a great time saver for my investment research. Very clever and well done!" says John Keeling, GM of Motley Fool.

Some users are already looking to improve the tool, e.g. to make it customizable, choosing the links the stock pilot preferred by the user. "This is one of the next things on our list, we hope to have a customizable version very soon" Patrick Hable comments on current and near future developements

Where is this heading? The developers are planning to have the possibility to have Google Finance Board Messages displayed as smart alerts as well as other interesting features.
