Stock dynamics

###About the app

It is a very simple shiny app that shows the stock trends over the time period selected by the user. In, addition to providing the graphical view of stock trend the app also provides textual summary of the stock performance over the selected time period. In, addition the app also outputs top 10 obervations in the table format. This apps heavily makes use of the quantmod package in R. Overall, it is a very simple application that I have developed as a learning exercise for the class. I understand that there are already so many similar applications. Therefore, I have tried to combined both graphical and text information in the the same app to be a bit different from what already exists on the web. I hope you will like the app!

###Possible extensions to the app Clearly, app is quite limited as it is implemented currently. Many other important features related to the stock performance can be computed that in turn can guide the investment in the stock! One exciting possibilty to improve the app would be to add an ability to compare stocks with each other or overall market trend for the choosen time period.

###How do I use the app? Instructions to use the app are quite self-explanatory. But briefly, simply connect to the app at https://dynamics77.shinyapps.io/stockApp

Once connected to the app, enter a stock symbol in the box. Then choose the time period to display. Finally, press "Update View"" botton. Do not forget to press the "Update View"" botton every time you make any changes to the date or choose another stock symbol. Here are some stock symbols to get started TWTR, AAPL, WFM, SBUX".
