I have put together a program for my own consumption that
tracks and graphs my portfolio. Through daily downloads I have
loaded my MySQL database with a history of the portfolio.
One feature I use is the tracking a comparison between two+
stocks and/or a stock index with the the computation of the Beta and
covariance. (The stock prices are normalized for the comparison)
A second important graph is the tracking of my portfolio
asset allocation. This is table driven. This allows me the discipline
of re-balancing the portfolio between growth/mature stocks and fixed
income instruments as the market bounces off the wall.
A third chart I am working on is an ad hoc chart/report based
on MySQL "select ..." statements maintained in a separate reports file.
This is not user friendly, but defines a functional need.
BTW, my data is stored on a MySQL database mostly to give
me data integrity discipline that my broker does not seem to recognize
their clients might know about and want.
