Title: Any Stocks and Shares people out there ?
Post by: Baaaaaaaa on March 11, 2009, 22:31:23
Just wondering what you use to display your portfolio(s).

I used to use the one in "AOL Money", as it was the easiest, clearest and simplest to use. However a few months ago they decided to 'update it' - what a mess.

I thought it was just me not liking change, so I've tried to cope with its errors, it loss of options and darn right difficulty to read and use. Done so for a few months now and I still think its a bag of crap.

So now I'm after a new one - anybody got any suggestions ?

I have a small stock of money at the end of each week, and it gets shared between, electric, gas, mortgage, food and other essentials. If i want to look at my portfolio i just turn out my pockets. ;D ;D ;D

Unfortunately my pockets are full of lottie stuff :- string, pens, paper,  the odd half empty seed packet, a few broad beans, a stray potato or two from last year, bits of wire, and loads of mud.

Not sure if that makes me rich or not, but certainly means I'm a sad bugger.

I think the FT still provide a free portfolio recording and tracking service, but I haven't used it for some time (the need has long gone  :'( ) so not sure if it would meet your requirements.

The other thing I recollect is that some of the banks offered free software to encourage you to use their dealing services.

I'm not sure that any of the free versions would handle option trading.

Sorry not to be more help.
