Beta - Bullie's Instant Desktop NewsAlerts! (BETA)     

TullettJ (MoneyAM) - 03 Jun 2005 12:03

About Desktop NewsAlert (Beta)

MoneyAM's NewsAlert allows you to keep up to date with the news on stocks you are interested in without requiring you to be logged into the website with your browser!

NewsAlert hides away in your system taskbar and pops up whenever there is an AFX or RNS news item about any of the stocks that you've decided to monitor.

To take part in this beta of NewsAlert (codename: Desktop Bullie), please visit the NewsAlert page.

System Requirements: Microsoft Windows (98/ME/NT/2000/XP) Microsoft .Net framework (download from http://microsoft.com)

When out of beta, this service will be available to Active level subscribers and above

leslieipert,

If you change the stocks you wish to monitor via the webpage, you need to refresh the program so it starts watching the new stocks.

A future version will have an automatic periodic refresh reducing the need to do this step manually.

When the product it out of beta, it'll have its own button on the navigation.

leslielipert,

Was it an RNS or an AFX item? (sometimes our provider mislabels RNS announcements :/)

wilbs,

It is possible that the item was mislabelled by our supplier - I will pass this onto them,
