One of our goals this August has been to= =20 build in some important features to help you with your investing strategies= . =20 Indeed, we=01,ve been hard at work implementing changes for ShareBuilder. We=01,ve just expanded our Research section, something many of you had=20 requested. We have added a number of new tools to track stocks, access=20 information and experiment with investing ideas. One of my favorites is=20 "What If I Had Invested" a tool that lets you analyze what would have=20 happened had you invested monthly for any period of time in any stock. Giv= es=20 new meaning to the concept of "20/20 Hindsight"! Go to=20 http://www.sharebuilder.com to check it out, along with these other great= =20 resources: ? Charts and quotes on any NYSE or NASDAQ stock. ? Interactive historical charts for stock performance. ? Earnings estimates and financial data on public companies. ? Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings for each security. ? Detailed company profiles. ? Real-time market updates. We have also installed a number of tools that you can use as easy-to-use=20 calculators that let you plan college savings, retirement, tax calculations= =20 and so on. These are provided as part of our Research area and will always= =20 be available from our Home page. Another important change regards the start of "decimalization" in the=20 securities industry - namely, quoting stock prices in decimal amounts inste= ad=20 of in fractions. This is something that affects everyone in the securities= =20 industry and is intended to provide investors with simpler and more efficie= nt=20 share pricing over time. Decimal quotes officially began on August 28th at= =20 the direction of the SEC for a small pilot group of stocks. The pilot grou= p=20 will expand significantly later this month. Eventually, this system will b= e=20 phased into the entire industry for all stocks. This is what it means for= =20 you- if you are buying any of the stocks in the initial pilot group, then y= ou=20 future purchases and quotes will be presented in decimal form; all other=20 stocks will continue to be quoted and traded in fractions. The ShareBuilde= r=20 stocks that are currently affected are listed below. Shares Quoted in Decimal Amounts: ? Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) ? Forest City Enterprises Inc. Class A (FCE-A) ? FedEx Corp. (FDX) ? Gateway Inc. (GTW) ? Hughes Supply Inc. (HUG) ? Media General, Inc. Class A (MEG-A) ? Regal-Beloit Corp. (RBC) Back to school brings thoughts of college, and college planning.
