What is broker anyway?
- Broker is a program that allows you to track your stock
purchases (up to 20 at a time).
- STORES STOCK DATA SO YOU DON'T NEED TO REMEMBER
all the gritty details.
- STORES DATES. Sometimes we forget when exactly it
was we picked up a stock. Gawd, when did I buy ....?
- PERFORMS A NUMBER OF SIMPLE CALCULATIONS to do with
profit margins and commissions. These calculations
can be usefull when deciding the price that you want
to achieve before selling. Some of these calculations
take into account the current price of the stock, which
can be updated by you at any time.
- LETS YOU PRINT OUT YOUR FULL PORTFOLIO for use as a
quick reference. Or, you can send your portfolio to
a file instead (folio.dat), to be viewed by you later
with a text editor. This second approach can save a
lot of paper.
- broker has been written to be VERY QUICK AND VERY SIMPLE
to use. It is largely a book-keeping tool, so I have
avoided, with the exception of the opening screen, a lot
of flashy and slow graphics. The program works quickly so
you can use it, then get on with more important things.
