TSC's
home page
contains the latest stories from all of our main site's sections, plus links to the other sites in TheStreet.com Network -- RealMoney.com and Street Insight. It's updated as frequently as the news demands. An exclusively online financial news source, TSC doesn't have to "hold" breaking news to supply fodder for a dead-tree or broadcast edition. When we've got it, you've got it.
At the top of the page is the most important headline of the moment. Just below it is the Don't Miss section, where you'll find handy links to the hottest news. Beneath that are markets stories, tech news, company stories and Insight & Advice. To the right you'll find the Managing Your Money section, with the latest in our personal finance coverage.
At the top right of our page, and every section page, sits our quick-loading interactive index ticker, which updates automatically every five minutes. Quotes are in real time, and the time stamp is located in the top left corner of the box. If you click on the chart icon below each index's label, you'll see a chart of its recent activity right above.
The home page can take you anywhere in the TSC network. Click a headline for a story's full text. Use the navigation bar on the upper left to go to any of TSC's sections, and use the horizontal navigation bar under the logo at the top left to visit other sites in the network. Or tap the
Tools/Quotes
links on the top left to research and evaluate stocks and funds.

If you're pressed for time and looking to see what TSC has published most recently, this section can help. It offers a chronological list of the day's headlines, as well as easy access to print multiple stories simultaneously.
This section offers consistent, as-it-happens coverage from before the bell until after the close. We track stocks and indices in our flagship markets piece. The Market Story, updated regularly from before the open until we wrap up the session after the close. When things are really going nuts, or when we simply have more to say, we write special features. On Fridays, we take a look back at the past five trading sessions in What a Week, and on Sundays we look ahead with The Coming Week.
Which online brokers are winning customers, and why? Are small biotechs or Big Pharma a better bet these days? Those are the kinds of questions you'll find addressed in Stock News.
In this section, you'll find news and analysis from our technology reporters in New York and San Francisco on hardware, software, chips, networkers, telecoms, the Internet and more.
From manager moves to fee hikes to portfolio picks gone awry, funds are an action-packed world that enjoys daily attention at TheStreet.com. Throughout the day, we capture breaking fund news. You'll also find a full helping of columnists.
This section contains all of TSC's extensive analytic/research tools, in an interface that gets you down to the facts and figures in no time.
Stock and fund quotes are available from the home page and main section pages via the Tools/Quotes box in the upper-left corner, where you can enter a ticker symbol right away. Or you can click on Tools/Quotes in the main nav bar. That link will take you to the
Tools main page,
which gives you access to all the resources along with descriptions on using them.
Want charts? Type in a ticker, select the Charts tab and go! Find intraday and historical charts for more than 24,000 stocks, funds and indices, with all sorts of choices for type of chart, time frame and indicators. How have your stocks done against the S&P -- or each other? It's all right there.
Also located in the Tools/Quotes section are
options quotes;
a
profile
of the company with links to its Web site and investor relations info;
company financials,
including income, balance sheet and cash flow statements; earnings estimates from First Call/Thomson Financial; data on insider and institutional ownership and short interest; and SEC filings from Edgar Online.
In funds, you can find
fund quotes
with data, updated daily, on everything from performance information back five years to the minimum investment to that trusty 800 number; and
fund scoreboards,
which reveal who's leading, and who's lagging, in each fund category.
Our
Portfolio Tracker
lets you create multiple portfolios that track long and short positions, mutual funds and options. In addition, you can also create watchlists to track those companies that you're still on the fence about. The Tracker automatically computes stock splits, keeps track of all events related to your investments and even compiles the latest news about your holdings. Each day after the U.S. markets close we'll send an email summarizing the day's performance numbers for your holdings and a list of news stories that are relevant to your portfolio.
Portfolio Tracker allows you to keep your portfolio open on your desktop all day long and be certain that the information is fresh. We've put the tool in a pop-up window and we're letting you determine the refresh rate. You can surf the Web, work in other programs and even leave your desk. When you want to check your holdings, just restore the portfolio window.
This section is aimed at new investors, as well as those looking to beef up their knowledge of Wall Street. You can find columns and primers aimed at beginners and more in-depth help. Puzzled by puts vs. calls and other market terms? Look them up in TSC's Glossary. Jim Cramer's "Wrong!" Library is also housed here, along with many of his teaching columns. And get one-click access to TSC's many Forums, where you'll find answers to questions you never knew you had.
Find out which TSC staffers will be appearing soon in online chats, on the tube and at events. This section also contains links to transcripts from TSC online chats.
Ever since TheStreet.com debuted, we've made it our mission to stay in touch with our readers. In our Letters section, we aim to do just that. Here we publish your reactions to our site, from stories you love to stories you hate. If you want to tell us something or read what your fellow subscribers are thinking, come on over to Letters.
