Usually that means having CNBC on my TV during the day if I m home. When that happens I just fire up Quote Ticker Bar on my computer and go about my daily business. While I m busy pounding away at the keyboard, QTB is keeping me updated with the latest goings on in various markets. The name, Quote Ticker Bar, pretty much sums up the product. It s a small bar that you stick somewhere on your computer screen.
Stock quotes scroll through it.
That s why I like it. It doesn t try to get to fancy and inundate you with a tidal wave of financial info as competing products do. That might be great if you re Warren Buffet, but for Joe Average who just wants to monitor a handful of stocks and maybe a mutual fund or two, it s overkill. With Quote Ticker Bar you choose your stocks, mutual funds, market indexes, etc and you re done. If you do decide that you want to get a little more advanced, you can begin to have Quote Ticker Bar issue alarms when a certain stock hits your selected low or high.
