StockFetcher is a website that helps people pick stocks, with a ton of information relating to any company's financial activities. It goes beyond what's available at a Google Finance or Yahoo Finance website with detailed, and I mean detailed, information about company stocks.

Their StockFetcher 2.0 application is a Flex based application that allows you to drill down into stock information for a company, including an absolute ton of graphs. Yes, with this application you do measure graphs in weight :-) . You can create your own filters, change the date range using a cool Flex slider component, similar to how you change the date range on Google Finance, customize the charts and more.

StockFetcher monetizes their application through subscriptions. Standard subscriptions are $8.95 per month or $24.95 per quarter, and Advanced subscriptions are $16.95 per month or $44.95 per quarter. The differences between the two plans are numerous, including the number of saved filters, advanced filtering and more.

Flex is great for this application because of the built in charting capabilities, and the performance that you get from compiled code. There's so much information on these charts that Flex breezes through because of the new virtual machine in Flash Player 9.
