A Dublin company introduced a financial alerts service based on emerging data-crunching technology from Microsoft on Wednesday.
Zignals is opening a beta of a new service that lets users set parameters about stock performance and receive text messages or e-mail when the parameters are met. The free service is designed for "someone who is active about managing their own portfolio of investments but not obsessed. We're talking about people who actively manage their investments but who have day jobs," said Pat Brazel, CEO of the new company.
