5 Watchlists

Watchlists enable you to exercise a 'discretionary' approach to investing. Unlike the 'strategy' approach that allows you to set specific criterion and apply them against a particular benchmark source, the discretionary style considers companies of interest for varying reasons that you consider are of individual value.

To ensure the best opportunities for positive discretionary outcomes, Market Shares takes a different approach to the traditional watchlist template that only displays current share price data. Subscribers can view a option able snapshot of powerful information delivered in the 4 pillar segments of 'Profile', 'Value', 'Risk' and 'Momentum'.

Market Shares provides 5 separate watchlists to enable you the flexibility to logically group companies of interest.

Each watchlist has a separate navigation tab. The default names are 'Watchlist 1' through to 'Watchlist 5'. Be aware that:

  • You may change the name of a watchlist at any time by typing a new or edited name into the first interactive field (edit field) which will always display the current name of the watchlist you are in.
  • A watchlist tab name can be up to 60 characters long (which will always be shown in the edit field) but only 30 characters will be displayed in the tab name.
  • The order of the tabs is fixed so irrespective of what you rename 'Watchlist 1' to, it will always remain he first tab.

Tip - You may choose to name the tabs whatever you please, but here are some suggestions; 'Value - strong income opportunities', 'Growth - looking for strong gains in share price ', 'Market Darlings - some long term personal favorites', 'Shorts - looking for over bought stocks', 'Positions - currently held'.

Adding a Company

You can add a company to your watchlist by typing any of the proposed entity's name or code into the selector tool provided (above the data table). Having clicked on the desired comparison, the company will automatically appear in the list.

Deleting a Company

You can delete a company from a watchlist by doing the following:

  • Select the company/ies you wish to remove from the watchlist by mousing over and clicking on the check box that proceeds the company code (the 'Sel?' column on each row of the table).
  • Then click on the 'Delete Selected' button located immediately above the table.
  • A confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to confirm that you definitely want to delete the selected company/ies from your watchlist.
  • By clicking on the 'Ok' button the company/ies will be deleted.

Clearing a Watchlist

You can clear a watchlist by doing the following:

  • Click on the 'Clear Watchlist' located to the right of the 'Update Name' button.
  • A confirmation dialog box will appear asking you to confirm that you definitely want to clear all companies from your watchlist.
  • By clicking on the 'Ok' button all companies will be deleted.

Using the Watchlist table

There are four vertical sections within the Watchlist table, Profile, Value, Risk and Momentum (the 4 Pillars) with one compulsory column for each section and many optional.

There is a default column display order. This can be changed by either using the drop down triangular icon located on the right side of the table's main heading row, or by using the mouse's right button click option on any of the table's headings to display available column options. These actions will expose the 'Choose Columns' pop up.

Mousing over the 4 Pillar descriptions in the pop up will display the inclusion/exclusion options for each area. Currently shown columns have a tick proceeding the column name. Simply click on the column's name to add or remove it. It will immediately respond to your command.

Alternately, you can choose to view all columns or return to the default view by clicking on the preferred option in the 'Choose Columns' pop up previously described.

The default sorting order is by Company name. A small orange triangular icon will be displayed on the sort ordered column and indicate the sorting order.

By clicking on each column header (title), you can sort the entire table by the values of that column. A second click will reverse the sorting order (ascending to descending or descending to ascending).

Columns that have alpha values will default their sorting from A to Z.
