Investor Dashboards is intended to help people see their investments’ performance.
Examples of people who will find Investor Dashboards useful: We could find nothing else available to help us with those types of tasks. We wanted a very easy simple tool to show us the big picture. We are not traders and did not want to pay thousands of dollars for that kind of software. We wanted something as easy to understand as the dashboard of our car. How fast are we going? How much gas is left? Are any of the idiot lights on? The online brokerages are nice, but way too complicated to provide much of a quick big picture view. Yahoo and Google and Microsoft and others have great finance pages, but nothing like this. We wrote this site for our own use, and we use it a thousand times per week. We have found that it is the most important tool we use to manage our own investments. We think it might be good for you too. We made it public for that reason. We will continue to improve it, sometimes daily. We'd like millions of other people to find and use this site. Any comments or requests are very appreciated and welcome.
