Simple software to handle stocks and shares

Is there any software available for the small/amateur investor in the UK stock market? Microsoft Money 2007 looks ideal, but does not appear to be supported in the UK. Greg Pritchard

You might be able to use Microsoft Money 2007, since you can create a sterling account, but the US version is naturally set up to connect to US financial services.

There are various portfolio management programs for Windows, but they may do more than you need. Investor Ease is a well known example, but costs £11.46 a month. Raw Computing's Share Cracker could be an alternative. It uses free stock market data (delayed by about 15 minutes) but is all yours for a fiver.
