Daily Bull Or Bear?

Are you looking for a way to make money without waiting for the slow interest accumulation from a savings account? If you've thought about investing in stocks but haven't because you are worried that you won't be able to keep track of your investments regularly, you should reconsider. Stock alerts can be sent directly to your cell phone, pager, and email and will keep track of all the stocks you've invested in as well as other stocks you've had your eye on.

Once you've chosen the stocks to go into your portfolio and you know the service provider you'd like to go through for your stock alerts, the next steps are simple. You give your stock portfolio to your provider, usually done on-line, and then they'll have the messages sent to you either via watch based or report based. Watching your portfolio and stocks will send you updates every time your stocks make a change. The changes can be sent to multiple receivers such as your email and cell phone as texts. You may find the changes frequent and may receive a lot of texts per day. There is a free site called www.TxtVox.com that offers a free service that will send you stock quotes when you want them. You can regulate when and how often you receive these quotes. This may be a good option for you if you pay per text message through your cell phone provider.

Reports can also be sent at certain time intervals. You can choose how often you receive the stock alerts, with options ranging from hourly to weekly. You may also have the reports sent multiple times a day if you so choose. This will allow you to keep track of your stocks without spending too much on texts. Both reports and watches will include information such as the last change your stocks made before the text or email was sent, the amount the price of your total stock was last worth, and individual stock values as well.
