Thanks everyone for the info. I just ordered Quicken Deluxe 99. I found that a broker I use, Datek has the service and never noticed. My other broker NDB does not. I'm transferring everything over to DATEK. I started with NDB and the largest portion of my portfolio resides with NDB. 1. Because it's easy to contact by phone, Datek is slower. 2. I can get higher margin buying power. Which is good and not so good. I tend to abuse it too much and get caught with margin calls. 3. Higher trade prices. Datek I get free streaming live quotes for up to 20 stocks. It updates my portfolio in real time. NDB I've been messed up if I traded a lot because their buying power calculation is never right. Also, I can only get on quote at a time. Oh yea Datek tells you what stocks are marginable and can be shorted, NBD no way. Thinking a stock was marginable I bought it and guess what, screwed. I've just convinced my self to transfer to DATEK. Thanks Go CMGI Monday and 1999-----> Craig
