You can automatically track the movement of stock prices in your portfolio by setting up AOL®
Stock Alerts.
AOL Stock Alerts help ensure that you won't miss a quote. These
alerts notify you whenever a stock's price changes, or reaches a
particular value.
Subscribing to Stock Alerts is easy. Anybody with a valid
AOL® or AIM® screen name can register to receive these
free alerts as pop-ups on their AOL® or AIM® service, as
text messages sent to their mobile phone or pager, or as e-mail.
You can even schedule when you would like to receive them, and
share them with others via e-mail.
However, consult your wireless service provider to determine if
there would be a charge for delivering AOL Alerts on your mobile
device.
