Q: Don’t understand why this stock crashed so fast on the news of competition, hasn’t the competition always been there? Do you think this stock will ever get back to it’s latest high and do you see where it will stop going down.

Q: My question is on your website will I be able to see your take on all the stocks on daily basis, and then, I can pick stock of my choice ? Or, I will have to have my own watchlist and add them on your website and get your input on them ? I am trying to understand how does this whole thing work ?
Thanks,
Nuri

If I am not following particular companies, will I have the capability to either receive email alerts on all stocks with trends for that day or is there somewhere in the site where you can view daily trends for all stocks, not just those on a watch-list or portfolio?
Thanks a lot,
