Balancing the books
Article Abstract:
Personal accounting software, or personal financial management (PFM) products can be used for different purposes, depending on users' needs. Small business owners can use packages to prepare tax returns, for example, while investors may wish to record their transactions. Online share trading and banking services are developing so the most useful packages will combine these services with existing functions. PFM software can help instil financial discipline, giving users greater control of their finances.

Downloading share data
Article Abstract:
Downloading stock data has become easier for United Kingdom investors and can be carried out using Teletext or by e-mail using the internet. A number of sources offer end-of-day data free, though there may be a charge for extras like stock volumes traded and high and low prices. Real-time data is even more expensive. Bond prices are not always available, and it is not easy to obtain data on government securities through the web. Data can be obtained by e-mail, from web sites and dial-up databases using Sharescope or Infotrade.
