- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Master Investor (MI) for Windows is a Portfolio Management and Technical
- Analysis program for individual investors, financial advisors and money
- managers.
-
- MI includes comprehensive portfolio management for up to 1000 portfolios
- of stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, cash accounts, other assets and
- liabilities. MI's 20+ reports provide complete tracking of security
- transactions, capital gains, unrealized gains, interest, dividends,
- reinvestments, net worth, asset allocation, etc. The custom report
- generator allows creation of reports based any one or more portfolios.
- The ability to combine portfolios, such as all retirement (IRA, 401K,
- pension, etc.) portfolios, allows users to maintain the detailed records
- needed for tax purposes without loosing sight of the bottom line.
-
- MI includes extensive charting capabilities for performing technical
- analysis. Users can create price/volume charts with moving averages,
- stochastics, on-balance volume, relative strength index, MACD, trend
- analysis, ratio cantor and correlation analysis. Other analyses include
- asset allocation, return-on-investment, return-on-value, portfolio IRR,
- and much more.
-
- Charts and portfolios are easily updated. Simply download
- price/volume data from a data provider and import the file to
- automatically update every chart and report. MI can import quotes
- from over a dozen popular data sources including Yahoo,
- CompuServe, AOL and Prodigy. MI also supports user defined import
- formats so new quote sources can easily be added. Unlike other
- programs, MI doesn't lock users into a single data provider.
