you. When I went back to QP recently, I did not sign up for SPP
since I am now concentrating only on 2x +/- funds. There are not
that many of them so I just created my watchlists by hand. I did
want to get the funds themselves into AB so I could access them
there, but for testing, etc I generally use the benchmark indices
rather than the funds themselves. QP lacks several of these
benchmarks, especially for the foreign markets, so for these I
substitute the most popular ETF's instead.

American funds are 2.5-beta. Also, for anyone that might not be
aware, ProFunds introduced their 2x +/- ETF's last month. See
www.proshares.com for more info.

unfriendly aspects to the program(s) that I guess I did not discover
or try hard enough during the trial period. But I want the data
(mainly the ranks which can be imported into AB) so I will have to
slog thru a learning curve, just like with ..... well ...... AB. I
dont want to do complex things, just isolate ETFs and Rydex/Profunds
Mutual Funds. Should be simple and almost intuitive. It is not.

the Rydex/Profunds Mutual Funds to import via a lst or txt file of
the symbols??

have mutual fund data on my drive (can plot with QP charting
