NOTE: A Portfolio, as the one you have just created, is nothing more than a STATIC list of symbols. This Portfolio will become dated as the Optionable listing continually changes. You will need to delete this Portfolio and recreate it from time to time in order to maintain a current listing of Optionable Stocks. We automatically update the listing shown in the Display Issues from selection every time you download your eSignal Wizard data each night. If you are using a data vendor other then eSignal then you will need to obtain a text list of Optionable Stocks from your data vendor and then use the "Import List" feature to build the Optionable Portfolio.
