Question #10: Can I Use the Internet to Keep Track of My Investments?

The Internet offers three types of portfolio management programs:

* PC-based portfolio management software: PC-based portfolio management is generally performed with software programs downloaded from the Internet. These programs usually have more choices and functions than Web-based portfolio management programs. A good example of a PC-based portfolio management program is StockTracker Lite at http://www.stockcenter.com . Limitations of this approach are that the investor must download the proprietary software and may have to import stock quotes.

* Portfolio management with your online broker: Portfolio management with your online trader is automatic. Your online broker knows what you traded, so the brokerage can automatically update your portfolio. A good example of an online brokerage with portfolio management features is CompuTEL at http://www.computel.com. The advantage of using your broker's portfolio management system is that you don't have to manually add transactions, and your portfolio always reflects the current value of your investments.
