Improved: Stock Portfolios

If you’ve been using the Stock Portfolios to monitor the ups and downs of your investments, we’ve got some new features for you to play with!

Quick information. Just place your cursor on the callout next to the ticker symbol in your portfolio, and intraday charts and news headlines will appear in a hover bubble.

Organize to your heart’s content. Create multiple portfolios and categorize your stocks however you want… ”long term”, “short term”, “401K”, “just watching”…or whatever works for you. Each portfolio accommodates cash positions and tallies things up to show a cumulative gain/loss.

Easy data entry. Editing the information in each portfolio is MUCH easier than before. Just click “edit” and enter your data.

Bunch more stuff. Now you get % change (in addition to value change), an up/down indicator, a refresh link, and support for international equities and foreign exchange rates.

While we can’t promise better value performance of your portfolio, we do think that keeping an eye on it will be much easier.

This is one of our most popular modules and we’re excited to provide you with some enhancements. Your ideas have been very helpful, keep them coming.

Happy investing!
