Well, if they're changing, they can't be read only (^^) But they're EOs... that's what I really wanted to know. Ok, so lets say you have a live stock price chart... You're really just displaying an embedded list configuration. The dashboard component that produces the pretty chart can be written using D2W as a subclass of the list page template with something like SVG to display your data. You would embed it in your UserHomePage configuration using a D2WList. If it isn't related to your user in any way, you'll need to generate your EODataSource using logic from somewhere. If it is somehow related to the user (the user's personal profolio or something), then you can create a detail datasource off the user object.
I don't see why you would need a dummy entity for any of these things so far. Your UserHomePage entity would be your user entity. Your embedded stock dashboard list page would be your stock quote entity, and so on.
