Abstract

An interactive user interface for displaying information about a plurality of publicly traded securities (e.g., stocks) at one time is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the interface may comprise (i) a two-dimensional chart comprising an x-axis and a y-axis, (ii) a first field for specifying a first metric related to the publicly traded securities for the x-axis, and (iii) a second field for specifying a second metric related to the publicly traded securities for the y-axis. An icon (e.g., a circle or a bubble) may be positioned on the chart at the x and y coordinates for each of the publicly traded companies based on the selected x-axis and y-axis metrics. In addition, the size of the icons may be representative of a third metric related to the publicly traded securities such as, for example, the market capitalization of the companies that issued the securities. Also, an interior feature of the icons (e.g., the color or hatching) may be representative of a fourth metric related to the publicly traded securities, such as the rating for the securities.
