Nicholas,
I keep about 3,000 securities in a composite folder and update daily but I
mainly use two other folders which have about 200 securities in each. These
have been copied from the composite folder and consist of "topstocks" and
"watchlist". It means I run through the download process 3 times each day
but the small folders convert really quickly.
Explorations are lightning fast and if I ever want to check on a particular
security which suddenly looks interesting that's not in the "topstocks" or
"watchlist" folder it's there, right up to date in the main composite
folder.
A side benefit is I always have a backup copy of the securities I'm most
interested in which has been a blessing a few times.
Every few months I'll scan through the folders to check on any dormant
securities and remove them.
This works for me.
regards
Ian
