The right column you will see the FriendlyStock100 index, Tax information etc and your notifications. Notifications on mobile will be accessed via a separate footer icon.
The FriendlyStock100 (a bit like the FTSE100), tracks the Friendly Stock market as a whole, indicating market performance and volatility with a continuous graph. A crash could happen, so be wary. If a market crash happens, the value of your stocks could fall dramatically, hopefully you will be able to spot it quickly and act accordingly.
