SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spectral Capital Corporation, (FCCN.QB), announced today that portfolio company Monitr has increased its reach for financial market news analysis and has added industry and sector analysis to its platform and service.
Industry and sector analysis opens up new opportunities for users of Monitr to improve financial decision-making and to incorporate new insights into overall market analysis - which are the driving forces that inspired the team to build Monitr.
Complementing analysis of indices such as the S&P 500, Dow Jones, Russell 2000 and Wilshire 5000, Monitr now offers unique market views for 212 industries and the following sectors: Basic Materials, Conglomerates, Consumer Goods, Electronic Equipment, Financial, Healthcare, Industrial Goods, Services, Technology and Utilities.
With analysis for over 7,000 publicly traded companies already available, industry and sector analysis opens up significant opportunities for users of Monitr to improve financial decision making and to incorporate new insights into overall market analysis.
Many investors have recorded substantial portfolio growth with a top down approach to trading, meaning they look first to the best performing sectors and industries to guide the selection of individual stocks. With Monitr, investors now have a powerful, real-time view of the aggregated analysis of individual sectors and industries based on the news and opinions expressed across a broad range of media. Monitr makes it easy to dig deeper into the evaluation of individual stocks and to discover the star performers in particular sectors or industries.
Sectors are often rotational and the early identification of a sector uptrend can prove extremely beneficial. As not all sectors or industries perform equally, recognizing the current market performers is essential in investor decision-making. Sector and industry analysis are also key for developing a better understanding of the overall economic environment - essential to risk management. The stability of overall market conditions can be an important indicator of the optimal time to invest.
"Monitr continually seeks to reshape the way investors analyze economic and financial trends," said Monitr CEO, Dennis Lutsky, "We are constantly working on adding more features that can unlock various signals."
Beyond sector and industry analysis, Monitr offers a variety of other tools and analysis for investors who believe news moves markets. Monitr provides easy-to-interpret market visualization tools, competitor comparisons, portfolio management and fine-grained analysis of news related to equities for the past 30 days. In addition to tools for monitoring market news, trends and sentiment, Monitr provides daily updates, real time alerts and signals via email and Twitter. The Monitr service is web-based making it easy to access from any desktop device or tablet.
"Our vision for Monitr is to provide investors with tools and information to increase the performance of their investment strategies. Our planned product development roadmap, combined with customer feedback, will continue to bring additional benefits for all Monitr users and give them more ways to achieve success," added Dennis Lutsky.
In addition to individual accounts, Monitr is available to larger financial institutions and hedge funds via customizable data feeds and on the web as Software as a Service (SAAS).
