Nobody that looks at stock information would want to see something like this.

because...?

Because it's missing tons of data! Volume, per-hour trades, market cap, 52 week high/lo, eps, etc. Look at any quote page and see how many data points they provide and then ask why anyone would look at this beyond the blue background.

If I were you, I'd bake in some neato HTML trick. Maybe real-time chart updates or some way to visualize the volume and the price in 3d or tied to events or something else...

Looks nice I must admit :) Are you fitting a quadratic curve? When you have multiple points what do you plan to use - a spline?

Seems to be using Google's data visualization API, line chart, curve type "function" (https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery...)

This is really meaningless you know... The page is nice though.

Why is that? I added that to make sure we don't get sued because somebody bought stock based on our page. I mean, what if our page doesn't auto update anymore and the information is old. I sure as hell don't want people suing me for that.

Although it's highly unlikely, you can never be too careful.

I'd be more worried about the way of datamining.
