AAII.com: New Portfolio Tracker and Journal Tools

New! AAII Portfolio Tracker

AAII’s new Portfolio Tracker, from QuoteMedia, allows members to track up to 10 portfolios with up to 52 symbols in each portfolio. Creating new portfolios is simple—for each security just enter the ticker symbol, number of shares, purchase price, date bought and commission paid. The default view is Portfolio Value view, showing portfolio performance by individual security as well as entire portfolio performance.

The Detailed View breaks the portfolio down by security and reports current quote data for each including: current, bid and ask, 52-week high and low and the day’s high and low prices; daily volume; price-earnings ratio and more. A quick price and volume chart is also displayed.

The Fundamentals tab lists fundamental data for each security such as yield and price-earnings ratio. You can compare your portfolio’s performance to a number of market indexes in the Market Info tab and record other personal assets such as cash or jewels in the Assets area.

All data is delayed by 15 minutes. To view the newly added quotes and research for individual securities, click the ticker symbol.

To access the Portfolio Tracker, click on My Portfolio at the home page or go to www.aaii.com/research/tools/portfolio.cfm.
