Fidelity Market Monitor for the iPhone

I'm going to honest with you, dear reader, I know next to nothing about stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. This blogger's little mind just can't wrap itself around financial matters, but our friend's at Fidelity Investments make it their business to help fools like me. Today, Fidelity has launched the Fidelity Market Monitor for the iPhone (and your iPod touch too!).

The Market Monitor is a web app that lets you track 25 stocks or mutual funds, gives you access to charts, stories about those stocks on Fidelity.com, and the ability to click a link and call Fidelity (in case you have a hot stock tip you must act on right away).

This differs from the iPhone's stock widget in both the source of the stock information, and the added bonus of links to related Fidelity news posts. Does that make it better than the Stock widgt? That's up to you to decide, I'm too busy gathering some money to buy a bridge in Brooklyn from this nice guy I know.
