The Recently Viewed Stocks list keeps track of the most recent 50 securities you've evaluated or compared. You can use this list to keep track of potential buys, and you can easily purchase securities from this list when you determine that the timing is right.
When you evaluate or compare a stock, the stock's symbol, the date you first viewed the stock, and the stock's price when you first viewed it are automatically added to the Recently Viewed Stocks list. The list automatically calculates percentage gain or loss since you first viewed the security.
For each stock, the Recently Viewed Stocks list displays the stock's symbol, the company name, the most recent trade price, the change in price since the previous day's close in both dollars and percent, the date you first viewed (evaluated or compared) the stock, the percentage change in the price of the security since the date you first viewed it.
