Strength in software
Article Abstract:
Investment software packages have become cheaper and easier to use, especially after the introduction of Windows 95. This means that they are more accessible, but investors still have to choose from a large range of products. Investors should assess their needs, and whether, for example, they wish to use real time information. They should also consider customer support levels and the cost of the software. Portfolio management and charting cover the two main types of software packages avalaible to investors.

Ghost in the machine
Article Abstract:
Portfolio management has changed as markets have become more inter-dependent, and diversification involves different continents and time zones. Investors buying stocks in multinational companies may end up with US stocks if a demerger is carried out. Cross exchange risks have been eliminated in the euro zone. Access to foreign markets has become easier for United Kingdom investors. Software has been developed to help them take decisions, and this software takes exchange rates into account.

A broad brush approach
Article Abstract:
Technical analysis for investors uses a number of indicators, and these include daily data on highs and lows, opening and closing prices, and volumes. Software may use data from a selected number of stocks from a sector of a stock price index, or data may come from all stocks traded on a particular market. Stock market strength can be measured through the AD line, while data on advances and declines can be used to calculate breadth indicators.
