A very clever use of data visualization:
Map of the Market
The display shows approximately 600 publicly traded companies (chosen by SmartMoney.com editors for their importance or interest) grouped by sector and industry. Within each industry the layout is designed so that neighboring companies have historically had similar stock price movements. That arrangement gives the map a powerful capacity to reveal regularities in the market's movement, with trends appearing as distinctive patterns of light and dark.
