Mint launches investment tracking for all
The financial site Mint is finally rolling out the investment-tracking features I covered in April to all its users. It's added new ways to analyze your portfolio as well. It gives you the capability to pull in data from all your investing accounts so you can see performance across them, and to quickly zero in on your best- and worst-performing investments.
The site is also now officially out of beta.
This is what they mean by, "diminishing returns."

- I respectfully suggest you review questions on the Mint forum. There are a number of very basic capabilities still needed to allow it to be a financial tracker and adviser. For example, manual entries. And when the question was raised, the response by the guru sounded a bit defensive (IMHO) and lacking in familiarity with some basics.

(4 Comments)I think a free trial look by CNET reviewers at a basic program such as Quicken or others with log-time experience would give a better idea of minimums needed.
FWIW, I have used Quicken and Quick Books for years. I have no other ties to/with them. I would love a similar, free program.
Matter of fact, I have just quit a very long and useless series of support emails trying to get their off-shore techies to fix a problem with 2006 software. I gave up, bought 2008, it installed cleanly and fixed all the problems. Except I can't get them to stop trying to "help" me. End of rant.
