Is the volume wrong on Nasdaq stocks today, or is the quote just slow? I checked a bunch with yahoo, and yahoo has more volume. Is the price still real-time?

4. The ability to quickly liquidate a position in your
portfolio at market with the click of a button.
Great for covering shorts at a bottom.


Hmmm... a click with password confirmation you mean?
Otherwise great for selling a stock you didn't mean to sell
with an accidental mouse click on the wrong place.

But more features doesn't equate to more download bloat.
It's more needless graphics that does that.

>> 1. Named quote lists.

I keep my quote lists in a text file. Copy and paste into
quote window.

>> 2. Edit quote lists.

Edit text file.

>>3. Quote list on stocks in portfolio.

(a) Keep list in text file.

(b) Portfolio page does a subset of that.

Response to an earlier post re: refresh. Refresh still
works for me on the new page. Ctlr-R will do it in Netscape.

Refresh is prefrable to repeating the request because you end up with
only the one page in your cache. ALSO ...

Refresh doesn't disturb the page sequence. So, for instance,
I typically keep quotes on one page and portfolio on the
page ahead or behind it. Then I can refresh either page
at any time without disturbing the other.
