Instructions:
There
are 3 methods for downloading
and importing stock prices / stock quotes / share
prices into Amateur Invest. In all cases you use
the "Import/Export" window.
Since
there could be changes to definitions and
improvements made to the download and import
facilities in the program, it is always a good
idea, to have the latest version.
Method
1: Automatic import from Yahoo.
This is the most flexible, since you can define
your own companies, and have almost realtime
updates of the stock prices / stock quotes /
share prices.
 More information
about the definitions for Yahoo, and the
import/export facility, can be found at
this Amateur Invest internet page, and in the programs help
pages.
Method
2: Automatic import from the Amateur Invest site.
This updates the stock prices / stock quotes
/share prices for the companies that originally
comes with Amateur Invest. Usually the stock
prices / stock quotes / share prices are updated
every 2 weeks.
Method
3: Automatic full reload of all data.
Here the stock prices / stock quotes / share
prices, and the company data in the databases are
completely replaced by the latest data from the
Amateur Invest site. This is usually only
necessary, when you run Amateur Invest for the
first time.

Stock
splits, name changes, mergers, etc.:
Many things
happens all the time, that influence stock
prices. Once in a while, companies split their
stock, merge, or change their name. It is
therefore necessary once in a while to update the
stock prices in Amateur Invest. News about these
splits, etc. can be seen on this
page. If
you have knowledge of such splits, you can add
that information to the bulletin
news board
or send an email to Simply
Data.
Euro
currency for some countries:
Please note that
many european countries from the 1st. of January
1999 began to use the Euro currency in all
financial transactions.
This influences
Amateur Invest, so that stock prices for Germany
and France are quoted in EUR instead of the prior
Deutche Mark (DM) and French Francs (FFR).
