Posted on | by equitystat

A Trusted Recommendation for Individual Investors

Kiplinger Magazine Names EquityStat A Great Tool For DIY Investors

Kiplinger Magazine — one of the most respected names in personal finance — recently recognized EquityStat as one of the top tools for DIY stock investors. To build their list, Kiplinger consulted seasoned investors and long‑time Wall Street observers, selecting only platforms that deliver real value, clarity, and actionable insights.

Their verdict: EquityStat stands out as a powerful, easy‑to‑use portfolio tracking solution for everyday investors.

Why Kiplinger Highlighted EquityStat

In their review of top investing tools, Kiplinger emphasized several strengths that make EquityStat especially useful for self‑directed investors:

1. Fast, Simple Portfolio Setup

Kiplinger noted that EquityStat makes it incredibly easy to build a stock‑tracking portfolio. Investors can add holdings quickly, organize multiple portfolios, and start analyzing performance in minutes — without the clutter or complexity found in many other tools.

2. Robust Performance Metrics

According to Kiplinger’s analysis, EquityStat provides a wide range of performance indicators that help investors understand how their stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds are truly performing. These include:

  • Daily gain/loss
  • Total return
  • Annualized return
  • Realized gains
  • Cost basis
  • Long‑term performance trends

These metrics give DIY investors the clarity they need to make informed decisions.

3. Clean, Intuitive Interface

Kiplinger also praised EquityStat’s clean, streamlined design. The interface avoids unnecessary distractions and focuses on what matters most: clear data, easy navigation, and fast access to performance insights.

Why This Recognition Matters

Being named one of Kiplinger’s top tools reinforces what many investors already know: EquityStat is a reliable, transparent, and user‑friendly platform for tracking investments.

For individual investors — especially those managing their own portfolios without an advisor — having a tool that is both powerful and easy to use is essential. Kiplinger’s endorsement highlights EquityStat’s ability to deliver exactly that.

New Feature in EquityStat’s Stock Portfolio Tracker

Posted on | by equitystat

We have added a new feature to our Stock Portfolio Tracker application. When you enter a new stock/investment or add a new transaction for an existing stock/investment, the price of the investment is automatically displayed in the Price field. The price that is displayed is the closing or current price for the date of the transaction. If this price is not correct, you can override the price by entering the correct price.

This feature was designed in case you don’t know the exact price you purchased or sold a stock for, the price is automatically filled in for you and you don’t have to look it up. If you do know the exact price, you can override the filled in price with the correct price.

EquityStat Stock Portfolio Tracker New Feature - Auto Price
Example of Auto Price

For example, if your purchased Apple stock on January 12, 2023 the price of $134.56 will automatically be filled in since this was the closing price on January 12th. If you purchased Apple for a lower or higher price, you can edit the price to the correct price.

This feature also comes in handy when you want to see what price a stock was trading for a past date. Just select the stock, enter the date and you will see the price for that date.

Refresh User Interface For Mobile Phones

Posted on | by equitystat

We have recently refreshed the user interface of your EquityStat portfolio on mobile devices. The user interface now looks, feels and works like a mobile app. If you have ever used the Weather Channel App or the ESPN App on your mobile phone, EquityStat works very similar.

To view your EquityStat account on a mobile phone, open up the phone’s web browser, go to www.equitystat.com and login to your account.

You can see the list of best stocks here:

https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/17/12/10968828/10-best-stocks-of-2017

How did your investments do in 2017?  What was your best stock?  If you are not tracking your investment’s performance, consider using EquityStat.  With EquityStat you can track the overall performance of your portfolio/account as well as the performance of each individual investment.  EquityStat tracks the annualized return, year to date return, daily gain, overall gain and many other metrics of your investments.  With these metrics you can easily determine what are your best investments.

EquityStat – An Alternative to Yahoo Finance Stock Portfolio

Posted on | by equitystat

We are hearing from a lot of frustrated Yahoo Finance Portfolio users. The latest changes to “improve” the portfolio manager have actually made the product worse. If you are looking for an alternative to Yahoo Finance stock portfolio, we encourage you to take a look at EquityStat’s portfolio manager.

EquityStat was founded by investors. As investors we understand what other investors are looking for in a portfolio manager. For example, one of our goals was to make EquityStat’s Portfolio manager show as much information on your screen without you having to constantly scroll around to see your data. Unlike Yahoo, EquityStat does not show ads, so this gives us more room to show more information about your investments and how they are performing.

You can learn more about the similarities and differences between Yahoo Finance’s portfolio manager  and EquityStat’s portfolio manager here.

In addition if there is any feature that you liked in Yahoo Finance’s portfolio manager that is missing in EquityStat, let us know. We will seriously consider adding this feature as well as any other feature you might find useful. Our goal is to keep enhancing EquityStat to give our users the features and services they want!
