Entering such existing symbol will load the stock in the Uncle Stock datastore, and make it available for everyone.

Manage stock lists

Look Up will add the stock to the White board. Stocks on the White board are not kept for future sessions. Use the + sign at the end of the stock row to add a stock from the White board to one of your Watch Lists. Stocks in a Watch list are kept for future sessions. Watch lists are used to manage your stocks of interest. Use the check boxes at the left of the rows to select a set of stocks, and the x and + sign top right of the list, to delete the set, or add the set to your Watch list.

Tip:Initially, there is only one Watch list. Extra Watch lists can be created and opened via the My Area menu.
