Instead of making a big 'ol movie clip in a library and animating/tweening that, I would instead make a single movie clip which has a text field, and attach that to the stage, populate the stock data, and tween/animate with actionscript, - you would create and destroy instances when they leave and exit the view area, and the data is dynamic for each clip. That to me would be a better/more elegant approach, and if you do it right, will perform much better too.
