Tip: iPhone - Checking Stocks

With the economy in flux, I've been checking my stocks a little more frequently. It's easy to do on your iPhone. Here's how to add a stock, index or mutual fund:

  •  From the home page, chose the Stocks application

  •  At the bottom right side of the screen, tap "i"

  •  Tap the "+" on the upper left side of the next screen and enter the ticker symbol of your stock, index or mutual fund. If you don't know the symbol, just type in the company or fund's name and tap Search at the bottom right side of the screen. A list of companies with similar names will show up. Tap the one you want

  •  Tap Done on the top right of the screen, and you will be returned to the main stock page. In a few seconds, your stock's current selling price and dollar gain (or loss) will appear.

  •  You'll also see a chart showing the price trend during the past days, months or even two year period. You can chose the period by taping on the time period you want.

  •  If you prefer seeing percentage change rather than dollar change, tap on the dollar change box.

  •  If you want to add another stock, just tap on the "i" again. You'll be back on the edit page. You can even change the order of the listed stocks - place your finger on the three lines to the right of the stock name and drag that stock up or down. Tap Done when finished.
