Watchlists

[turar]

What is everybody using for keeping a watchlist? Excel spreadsheet, an online portfolio simulator, anything else? What are the good services?

I like google docs in combination with google finance. I don't know if this link works for you, but there you can see some of the possibilities. You can easily make a sheet that tracks some stock prices and, for example, lights up if a certain price goes below your threshold. The nice thing is that you can access it anywhere.

 

I also have several stock in a yahoo portfolio. The nice thing there is that your portfolio shows you all the news and filings for the stocks in your portfolio. If you add some large-cap stocks you probably get swamped in information, but for small-caps it works pretty well.

I started a thread about a similar topic a few months ago, but I can't seem to find it using the search function. I remember some interesting answers. If you dig a bit through the archives you should be able to find it.
