> Awkward cannot be held responsible for the information shown on this page

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.

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...)

Why?

Why not?
