A good presentation. I wonder if somethings, (e.g. Volume, "if only a 100 shares have been traded 100 would be listed" In brackets below 'Vol' you see '1000')might need some more definition to avoid confusion?

Liz: The video should appear above just below the title. If you don't see it, you probably have JavaScript disabled. Go to Tools-->Options and look for JavaScript enabling in your Web browser.
