That has been on my mind too Jim. I like to track a stock from the time I entered it into a portfolio. If this feature can be done an automatically, it would speed up the process for us who like to track a lot of stocks and be a time saver. I find myself to be very busy thru the day, following a lot of threads, doing DD, reading SEC reports, especially trying to keep alerted on the latest news releases on stocks I track. I presently use Quote.com for automatic email notification, but would rather pay SI extra for this service. Have a good weekend. JL

James, We have the functionality now, but it's not as automated as you might like. Some of this I'm sure you already know, but in case anyone else reads this... Our portfolios have 3 "views", each one more functional than the one before it. (Step 1) You start with the "basic view" where you just enter ticker symbols and submit. (Step 2) If you then scroll down, you'll see a checkbox for "Enter Shares". Check that and press, edit and your in the "Daily Change" view. Enter the number of shares and submit. (Step 3) Scroll down again and you'll see "Enter Purchase Information". There you can enter the date of purchase, and the price at which you bought the shares. Once you've completed these three steps, you'll see a pull-down box with Basic Daily Change Portfolio Performance The Portfolio Performance view has a %%%% column for the change vs. the entry price, as well as totals at the bottom of the page. Does this do the trick, or did the question go over my head? Brad
