First, I am blogging about my portfolio also. My style for the port I am blogging about is swing trading as I look for updrafts to go long and downdrafts to go short. I have made over 21% in 140 days with the port.
I am currently using Apple software for blog and I paste a spreadsheet onto my website, which is time consuming. I would like to use something like your Yahoo widget for the transactions so that I do not have to do the work. Can you control the size of the print of the port on your webpage? Port is difficult to read unless you double click on it.
I would say you are leaving yourself open to enormous downside risk by having only 7 stocks in your port - see my blog on my homepage about port size at

Hi,
the 21% profit within 140 days is very nice figure. My question to you is, what are your transaction costs? How many trades on average do you make during one month?
I don’t use any Yahoo! widget to show status of my portfolio, I do it myself also in complicated way (printscreen, crop, …)
But I’m looking for something sophisticated (little php coding, one more table in database.. ).
This was just the beginning and therefore I had only 7 stocks in portfolio (currently 9). If there is a new great opportunity on the markets, then I will add new stocks into my portfolio. I choose them very carefully, so I think the probability that they fill fall dramatically is very low.

I had 45 buys (90 buy and sells) since April 4th but there were no trades done in August. I have several ports but for the one I am blogging about, I am an Active Trader of very short-term trends in the market. I stayed out of the market in August as there was no clear trend up or down and I took vacation.
Is your port actual money and are you actually trading $1.4 mill bucks.

If you make real trades, you have to paid for your order. And the prices are somewhere around $10. If you trade in large amounts, this price is “worthless”. But if you trade in smaller amounts, say $1000-$10000, this fact can ruin your trading strategy, because the transaction costs are very big.
I have exact real portfolio, but the total sum of money invested is smaller.
