"What do you mean it dropped 15 points in an hour, sell it! geeze get me- got to go, see you. Hi, I'm Rokosz, "your digital lifestyle expert". If you're the kind of person that likes to watch the ebbs and flows, the minute by minute fluctuations of Wall Street, well the iPhone is a great tool for doing that. Yes, you can go on your favorite brokerage house using the browser function, but there's also a great app right inside on your desktop called stocks, and I'm going to show you how to use that right now. First thing you do of course, turn it on, slide to unlock it, and right there, one of the built in things is the stocks. Now of course handley preloaded with some of your favorites or the Apple, Google, and Yahoo. Alright, so right now we can see right here with red and green, looks like Apple is up 6.82, and geeze, Google is doing real well up 10.07, at least at this moment. And here we can see the day, the week, the month, the year, the month, the six month, and the one year trends, maps right over there, on the different ones, let see here, you push right down in here, and then it's going to retrieve the data on what Yahoo is doing; wow, it looks like it was way up and way down over the past year. Now if these aren't the stocks you track, all you have to do is hit the i, and again, now, you can maneuver it, AT&T, I want that one to be at the top of my list so we can touch it. If you see these little three buttons, it's kind of like a finger grip, that's what they meant it to look like; I want it to be AT&T and Yahoo, no, no, no, I want Apple up at the top. Now you can either have it by numbers or percentages, depends on how you deal with your data. And just like almost everything on the iPhone, plus ( ) means add, it's very cryptic. And now we can add, if you knew the stock ID, or the NASDAQ or the knee-kay version of getting that in there. And you can see a GE, General Electric, I want to try at that stock, I got it right down in there, done, we can pop over there, and move up and down and see how GE is doing. GE is up 1.83, excellent, it's good. And you see how you can wheel and deal, follow the market, keep track of how much money you have, or what your investments are doing, right here, in a built in app on your own iPhone. I'm Rokosz, "your digital lifestyle expert", saying, string you later."
