3. Tap on the earth icon. This will give you the date and time of the last Internet update on your Pocket PC.

4. Click on the "Stock Action" button to view the stocks you have actively been trading. This opens a new screen with these stocks and their data for your review.

5. Make changes to a stock. Click the "Dividend" button. To delete the stock, click on the red "X" button. To sell the stock, click on the green dollar bill button.

6. Make purchases of the same stock by clicking on the red button with a circle surrounded by dots. Add mutual funds or other types of shares to a stock by clicking on the red button.
