Before I change over to Kubuntu I need to find a Linux programme which will enable me to monitor various portfolios of Investment Trusts. The programme I presently use is Updata's Fairshares which enables me to monitor half a dozen portfolios. I am happy to enter the closing prices manually on a daily basis. I have no need to get prices entered online as I do not trade regularly. Graphs of the share prices are not a requirement but are useful at times. What is essential is that all trades and dividends are accounted for so that such information is available come April. BTW TaxCalc hope to release a Linux version in 2010. If any of you know of a programme that meets these requirements I would be most grateful to hear about it. Alternatively one of you might care to programme an open source programme which other may find useful. BTW I am not an investor with huge sums but run ISAs for my wife and I as well as a couple of accounts for a granddaughter and a great grandson. Helpful advice would be gratefully received ;-) John WI wrote the above 5 December and have had one very helpful response. Does this mean that no one other than the two of us has a need for monitoring share portfolios? I have had no luck tracing such a programme which will run on my Kubuntu 9.04 machine. Can anyone think of where I might find a suitable programme? Even a programme which might be modified somewhat. John WI use Interactive Investor to monitor my small portfolio http://www.iii.co.uk but I don't trade very often and haven't needed to rely on it for annual tracking. However, I haven't looked for this service so they may do it. If not, there are lots of other on-line traders that may.George
George, Thanks for this lead which I shall look at. John W -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
