Hello Troy,

1) Good idea. I had thought about it but wanted to keep the software simple. Still, I might add this at a later date.

2) Another good idea, but a bit too complicated for this tool. Although I might add an export function.

Regarding your questions...

1) The frequency is daily.

2) Data are retrieved from Yahoo! Finance. This is one of the most robust free data sources I've come across (except they keep changing their data format).

Regarding your observations...

1) Good point. I can see how that could happen. Perhaps I'll have to write it as SOMtickers.txt (or even SSOMtickers.txt).

2) Don Carlson sent me an email, after running well over 100 mutual funds, with similar questions. I haven't tested the software with funds but will look into it. If you see results that look suspect, please let me know (send me an email at [e-mail]).

Thanks for your input!
