Blain, do you trade on a daily basis?
I also put all my financial website resources in one firefox bookmarks folder. Then, I can open everything at the same time and flip through all my favorite finance website in one window.
For previous quotes, I use Microsoft Money to get a glance of my overall portfolio. It is very user friendly and all the information is a click away.
Cheers,

I also wonder if Blain trades daily and would like to know what stocks you own, what stocks your looking at, and how you've done... maybe we'll learn from your successes and your mistakes!
Yahoo Finance is a great site (I just wish it was PERFECT- they do get the odd error when using the filter, but that is the feed providers fault!).
I love you Yahoo Finance and Microsoft Money. I pretty much use the two of them exclusively for stock information and the daily happenings.

Just saw the link
1) Spend 5 minutes just waking up.
Usually around 7:00 AM to 7:30 AM EST
2) Put on the morning robe - and make coffee. Then I cue my "Morning Music" plalist on the ol' PC.
3) I use Bloomberg on my PC, on one monitor, and for the other monitor, log into my trading platform. I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that I'll need another monitor before too much longer.
4) Spend time with the wife after I look over the headlines.
5) By 9:00 I'm hot in heavy in front of my PC - looking over premarket. Sometimes I have to be up a little earlier if I'm involved with a Futures market trade. By 9:30 am, I cue up my "Trading Playlist" and I'm off to work.
