Scanning for stocks ends up with a list that can be tedious to transfer to StockCharts for chart analysis.
So I went looking for a copy paste app.
I use XP PRO and quite often block image a backup after cleaning up the HD.
Block imaging is super and the particular program I use is Shadow Protect, works fast backing up (30 min) and thus far allows me to restore my computer from an image on an external USB.2 connected HD in about 25 min. It uses a CD boot disk image to load up on boot.
This means I'm pretty well prepared for anything for a few days if I want to download some apps that interest me. A virus or malaware problem is not a concern.
Sock it to me. LOL! What I mean is I have tested some copy and paste apps and they're safe.
I have downloaded a few programs after googling- "copy paste applications" and selected a download site... CNET.com... a trusted site so far having downloaded lots of stuff from there with no problems. Selected a few copy & paste apps and went about downloading and using a few of them.
I had some issues with clipomatic20 (couldn't get it to work).
CNET
On the page that loads from the above link... I downloaded the top of the page download offered and 2 more from the list below on that page that states other apps downloaded by others as well.
I actually did a bit more surfing than I'm laying out here, but they all work great with some different approaches, and one I settled on was...
M8-Free 12.02
The description is a little confusing, but the download is 12.02. I have no idea what the 60 day trial is refering to, it doesn't seem to apply... a misprint perhaps.
The version only allows for 25 clips.
I just copy and paste as normal, even while the app is running.. ctl-c ctl-v if I'm not multiple copying.
When I run a screen, or scan for stocks... is where the app really finds meaning. I just make sure Free 8 is loaded, and I can copy up to 25 Stock symbols on one clip board. Highlite each symbol one at a time... just copy, and they add to the list in Free 8. Switch to the Stockcharts editing page, and load the portfolio editor.. put the flashing mouse cursor into the stock input window,and move to the Free 8, and start clicking the 25 copies and they paste into the input box slick and quick... I do have to do some editing for the right Stockcharts format, but all the info is there, and it is much easier than one at a time popping from page to page. Super time saver.
