We are trying very hard to grab a tiny portion of investors, who are bored in using over complex software, or too poor to buy a software 🙂 But I don’t call it income, I rather call it pocket money, as its amount is too small, to sustain a life for single programmer). To be honest, we do generate some income from web site advertisement. We are still quite far from there, as we are not backed by any income or fund.

Our end greedy goal is to have a fully functional professional stock market software.
