There were three objectives when I planned this portfolio dashboard:
Forward oriented. This is what we do as long-term investors. Hidden columns contain historical data, but the focus is on the potential of each stock in the portfolio
Every member of the club can update: This Google spreadsheet is shared with all club members. Each club member updates the spreadsheet with data on the stock that they follow.
Current price data automatically entered. The spreadsheet includes Google Finance functions including current price, EPS, and P/E ratio.
The spreadsheet can be enhanced based on the interests of the club. For example, the demo includes “conditional formatting” that highlights current prices that are lower than the “buy below” price.
