How do I make a stock watchlist?

Create a free GNG account and open My Watchlists. Name the list after one idea, such as dividend income, then add stocks and ETFs by symbol or company name. Pick your columns and write a short note on why each ticker is on the list.

Is there a free stock watchlist?

Yes. My Watchlists is free with a free GNG account and includes a personal watchlist with last close, P/E ratio, and dividend yield columns. Pro Lite and higher plans add more lists, public sharing, and copying tickers from shared lists.

Is there a stock watchlist app?

My Watchlists is a web app that runs in your browser on a computer or phone, with nothing to install. On a phone, each ticker shows as a card with its last close, the day's change, and your note.

How do I add stocks to my watchlist?

Open Add Tickers and search by symbol or company name. To add several at once, paste symbols separated by commas, such as KO, PEP, JNJ, press Enter, then select Add, up to your plan's ticker allowance. Any symbol we cannot find is marked not found.

What is a stock watchlist?

A stock watchlist is a list of stocks and ETFs you follow but have not bought, kept with the prices and metrics you check most. A portfolio is different: it tracks shares you own, cost basis, and returns.

Can I export my stock watchlist to Excel?

Yes. The Export menu saves the list as a CSV, Excel, or PDF file with the columns you selected. A column your plan does not include shows an upgrade note instead of a value.

Overview

A stock watchlist keeps the companies you are researching in one place until you decide whether to buy. My Watchlists is an online watchlist of stocks and ETFs that runs in your browser. Add stocks and ETFs by symbol or company name, compare last close, the day's change, P/E ratio and dividend yield side by side, and write a private note on why each ticker made the list. A personal watchlist is free with a free GNG account.

Use it as a dividend watchlist sorted by dividend yield, or as an ETF watchlist for funds you are comparing. Each list keeps its own custom columns, filters, and sort order, with an optional summary row, such as the average P/E ratio of the list. A watchlist needs no trades or share counts; when you buy, the Portfolio Tracker follows cost basis, cash, transactions, realized gains, and returns. Pro Lite and higher plans add more lists, public sharing, and copying tickers from lists other members share.

Capabilities

Private ticker notes

Write a note on any ticker about why it is on your stock watchlist or what you are waiting for, then reread it in the notes panel. Notes are private. On Pro Lite and higher, you can mark a note public when you share the list.

Custom columns and filters

Choose custom columns, combine metric filters, search within the list, and add a summary such as the sum, average, or median of a column. Each watchlist keeps its own settings, so switching lists brings back the layout you used there.

Organize your lists

Name and describe each watchlist, rename it as your research changes, and remove tickers you no longer follow. Manage mode selects several tickers at once for bulk actions, including moving them to another list when your plan includes more than one.

Export a shortlist

Download your stock watchlist as a CSV, Excel, or PDF file from the Export menu. The file uses your selected columns, and a column your plan does not include shows an upgrade note instead of a value.

Pro Lite extras

Pro Lite and higher plans add more lists, copying tickers from lists other members publish, and the option to make your own list public with strategy tags such as Growth or Dividend Income. Public lists appear in Community Watchlists, with only the notes you mark public.

Works on your phone

My Watchlists is a web app, so there is nothing to install. On a phone, each ticker becomes a card with its last close, the day's change, and your note, so you can check a name or update a note away from your desk.
