MSN Money Stock Portfolio

Getting real time quotes costs an awful lot of money. That is why "free"
quotes services are delayed by 15, 20 or 30 mins.

There are plenty of subscription real time quotes providers but MS has never
seen an overwhelming demand and, IMHO, Money is not aimed at day traders.

I do not respond to any emails that I have not specifically asked for.

As far as the real time quotes go, I recieved a message saying I've used up
my 50 (that is way more than ample) for that day. But the next day it gives
me the same message on my first request of the day ?? Oh, and I'm not a day
trader, just a retired person making an investment and using your MS tools.
You didn't answer the question on the after hours trading changes not
showing in the portfolio?? Wouldn't that make the portfolio not acurate ?

I've hit the "50 quotes" limit a few times but didn't have a problem the
next day. Did you try tools>internet option>general>browser history>setting?

I did eventually get back the real time. Still wondering why the after
hours doesn't show in the portfolio. Ohh well didn't cost anything, so I
can't ask for my money back.

You can kind of see it when you look at the opening price on the chart the
next morning. If there were any after-hours trading the chart starts at a
different dollar figure than what it closed at.

I've been using this since way back (early 90's?). I've also evaluated many
other services, some free and some charged, and this is far-and-away the
best of any. I sent a letter to Microsoft many years ago and told them they
have the best service. Never heard back from them. I even complained to
Charles Schwab where I do all my trading. There web was so terrible I
suggested they contact Microsoft to develop a better web. Never heard back
from them either other than an automatic computer response.

Hay Frank, thanks for the imput. I find it to be great 2. The only thing I
would like to see is a signal when to get out and back in. Ckd for a
cristale ball but none to be found.

You can give minimum and maximum for automatic warning when it hits that
price.
