Thanks! Number 2 takes a bit more time, but I'll implement it when I have time as it is a great idea. And I just implemented point 1 now, hope this helps!

Uh... The back button IS the natural way to do it. I commend the OP for making the back button actually work how it's suppsoed to!

I'm not saying the back button shouldn't work. I'm saying it would be nice to have a way to do it from the webapp's UI as well.

Agreed. At this point people have been conditioned to expect the back button to lose their place or take them off the domain. So it's important to have a way in the webapp's UI even if you have the back button behaving properly.
1. You have this grid with a few big company names on the right. When you click, it shows you a number and some other information. I feel like, when you click again, it should take you back to that grid, or you could have an "X" in the top-right corner to close that information and get back to the grid (home page). Right now you have to use the back browser button, which feels awkward.
2. To maximize the FOMO, you should show a graph of the stock price over time, which of course would look exponential. You can download that information in CSV format from yahoo finance. You probably don't need it to be updated everyday. You will need to adjust for stock splits.
