How to Set Up a Stock Portfolio
- 1). Use Yahoo! Finance to set up a stock portfolio for practice or monitoring purposes (see References). Establish a free Yahoo! account first. You can develop and watch a list of stock symbols, maintain a transaction history for stock purchases and sales, or just keep track of the activity concerning your existing holdings. Each time you log into your Yahoo! account you will see updates regarding your stock portfolio.
- 2). Create a stock portfolio with Daily Finance (from AOL, see References) as another option. With this service, you can set up a stock ticker containing the stocks in your existing portfolio or set up a fictional one. You'll receive updates about the stock prices. Register for a free account, then select the option to create a new portfolio. You can create as many portfolios with different names as you wish.
- 3). Join Zignals as another alternative for setting up a stock portfolio (see References). This service has a convenient and attractive online portfolio manager that you can use to both review and analyze the performance of your stocks. In addition to basic real-time data, the software offers performance metrics and charts. You can join and try out this online software for free to see if it fits your needs.
