UpicT -- The Unearth Pictorial Tool -- service pack release announcements and introduction
First some good news. The release of UpicT 2 -- an enhanced New Age tool for New Zealand investors -- has meant that the original UpicT is now freely available for showcasing purposes. Free samples to whet the appetite are available -- here -- for exploration and assessment. Please help yourself. And we are pleased to hear that the website already displays cleanly on some web enabled cellphones. As this aspect will rocket in importance for using UpicT 3 while commuting, we are keen to receive even wider feedback. Dont forget to mention the make and model.
So how do you even begin to decide whether to invest in this share instead of that share, or for that matter instead of any other NZ Security competing for your money (say bank deposit, bonus bond, gold etc)? And, surprisingly, you probably already know the answer. At some time or another you have probably even applied the answer -- maybe in a context of different terminology. The answer, of course, is to compare the Rates-of-Return! .... Enter UpicT.
UpicT stands in a class of its own as an investment tool because it pictures the Return-Rate and tracks the returns themselves. Curiously, we find the internet littered with so-called "investment tools" which ignore or overlook returns. How do they sleep at night? The big question is -- Where are the dividends? And such a big question it is worth repeating -- Where ARE the dividends, PLEASE? But only UpicT steps forward with a proper answer. Fonterra shareholders may also be interested in <this commentary>.
But to quickly get a feel for what UpicT can do, you might view <these samples>. We suggest you print some pictures out, and then click these links to learn more about them --
The 'even better' news is that developement on UpicT 3 advances by the day. This real time delivery mechanism will cater to those more complex investing strategies oriented around time-sensitive data and which demand timely (if not instant) analysis. We can hardly wait ourselves. But in the meantime, most of the less exacting investing deployments continue to be well serviced through the normal emailing service, available from the "Service" tab at the top of the page.
