Globe and Mail adds investing tools to biz news site

The Toronto Globe and Mail announced Monday that it has added several investing features to the business section of its website.

A story on the Globe and Mail website stated, “These include a Portfolio so that you can find instant analysis on your investments from Canada’s most-award winning business newsroom. We also provide robust data sets that measure your portfolio’s performance to give you an at-a-glance report into the value of your wealth.

“To help you make more informed financial decisions, our Watchlist tracks news, analysis and insight on investment ideas that you are exploring. Investors interested in dividends can track yield, payout and long-term-growth ratios in Watchlist, as well as have dividends automatically reinvested in the purchase of new shares or the payout can be directed to a portfolio’s cash account.

“We’ve paired this with a powerful, stock-screening tool that lets you customize your research by filtering through over 50 criteria or chose one of four pre-made screens to find new opportunities and explore investment strategies that are right for you.

“You can further customize your portfolio with interactive charts that allow you to easily visualize and interpret stock data such as trends, momentum, peer performance and more. They’re fast, easy-to-use and packed with options.”
