Is there applications to download the values of your funds each day to your computer?
I want to keep a log of how my funds are doing compared to watch lists of funds. Now I do it manually and it it is tme consuming. Can I do it electronically on my computer and follow ing YTD, 1mo, 3mo 6mo 1 yr 3yr? Prinx
Also cheap and dirty: Set up a Google homepage with a portfolio widget/window (you set up the window with your own list of symbols that you want to follow), and when this is updated daily just swipe your mouse over it to select all the data, then copy and paste to a spreadsheet.
I've got a nifty little macro set up in the spreadsheet to send all the data to the right places. Been working great for many years.
