If you are looking for an end of day program, one of the better ones is
Power Investor by Investors Intelligence.&nbsp; It is only $92 a year and
the daily updates over the net are free.&nbsp; It has all the tools for
both technical and fundamental analysis.&nbsp; It has all the financial
data, and the means to sort the stocks and mutual funds by almost any combination
of fundamental criteria. I think there are 9000 stocks and I don't know
how many funds as I don't follow them.&nbsp; Ira.

You missed my whole point, re-read my post.

Internet, in my case, is a lot more reliable than the other data services,
it crashes a LOT less.

I don't care for Omega's business practices. Pushing TS2000 this far, not
even talking about Supercharts real-time, it's ridiculous.
