And if you are not monitoring your portfolio regularly, then you might have to book heavy losses.
But it is hard to track the live changes of your stocks with these options; however we've come up with the option that will help you to monitor your portfolio free with leveraging the Google's power which will enable you to track your portfolio.

What is Google Alerts?

Google Alerts is a content change detection and notification service from the Google basket which will help to monitor any change in the selected stocks.

When you set alerts with the Google then you'll feel relax as each morning when you'll wake up, you'll find mailbox filled with dozens of emails from the Google related to all the stocks which you might either holding, or interested in. It is very helpful as you get alerts sent to you as soon as you are talked about somewhere on the Internet. You can also use Google Alerts to monitor news about your;

  • Competitors
  • Share prices
