I understand beta. Sometimes it hurts. But I am already using Netscape 4.04 with all of the Netcaster stuff installed. I have not been a big proponent of push technology in general, but financial info is a true fit. I have had some success using the quote.com java applet, but it has been missing the portfolio monitoring capabilities that I am hoping this may provide. As to getting in, I just went there and started the download when I read your message.

Well Scrapps, I downloaded Investment Tracker and ran it ok. A little complicated to set up and not as useful as I was hoping. And a little slow for my taste. And a system hog to boot. I think I will remove it. I use Investtools for a quick look at the items in my portfolio I am most interested in through the day (10 max for free), and it is a little faster on updating. Besides it gives me a percentage indication of the gains/losses (these days mostly losses). The graphs in the Tracker aren't as flexible or useful as the quote.com either. Oh well, I continue to look for good, quick, low cost (free is best), real time way to have an overview of my portfolio.
