Sometimes you get to Port Sim and it gives you the "we ain't got no trades" thing. Sometimes even when you can see the Vote Line Trades and have even printed out the Performance Summary Report. That "glitchiness" sometimes can cause you to discard a good idea. And it is present in OmniFunds as well. I guided a friend through the setup of two OmniFunds months ago via a screen share from his computer. At the time we checked and double-checked but we could not get agreement between my installation and his. A couple of days ago we revisited the situation and found that a complex Ranker I had given him in the lab was listed as Ascending instead of Descending. We corrected the error and then kept bouncing between the Lab and Explore sometimes showing the correct evaluation and sometimes not. We finally gave up when OmniFunds reverted to what my friend had all along. I told him to check it the next day and see what was going on. And, of course, the following day things were right as rain! And have been ever since. So, just because you can't get something to run like you think it should on OmniFunds come back to it the next day and see if things have sorted themselves out. As far as you wife is concerned she should know that you can never spend way too much time researching just like you can never spend way too much time doing the housekeeping. OUCH - was that my wife slapping me upside the head? Tom Helget | |
