In addition to the financial evaluations, the Investors' column gives the latest (past couple of months) stock prices for popular stock categories. In this section you can find out about "hot" and "cold" stocks. Hot stock identifies those that have been recently ‘hot' (up 00% or more in a few days), and cold stock identifies those that have dropped a few percentage points or more. Hot traders usually like to hang onto hot stocks, while cold traders tend to pull out of investments that have dropped. Finally, the Select/Panel section is where you will find your own personal stock picks for inclusion in your own personal portfolio. This is important data for future trading strategies. This section is especially important for beginners because it gives an opportunity to experiment with different strategies. There is also a helpful tool that lets you compare the performance of various portfolios across multiple asset classes. This useful feature is especially important for new investors who don't yet have a good idea of which asset classes are their most important assets.
