 * This was the first stock widget I explored, so not much to caompare, but this
   should be simple stuff. Download a plugin, configure the widget, off you go. 
   I added the symbols I wanted to appear in the plugin settings. Added the widget
   to a sidebar, all those symbos are gone. Had to redo all of them. Why are they
   in the settings then?
 * Did that, clicked save, website goes down. Even back end. Coincidence? Doubt 
   it. Do I manually remove it. Website comes back. Coincidence? Doubt it.
 * In readeing some of the documentation, there seems to be some convoluted method
   for adding tracking symbols (tickers). I just wanted NASDAQ, DJIA, S&P, Gold 
   and Oil. Easy? Hell no. For some reason, this widget doesn’t use the globally
   used and recognized market index symbols.
 * So, that was enough. Moved on. I would not reccomend.
