It was designed by licensed investment  ~  1  ~  managers, and professional software engineers. It was originally  ~  sold through conventional channels at a substantially higher  ~  price. We have since released an update to the 2.1 version,  ~  which is available through those same channels. If you find that  ~  you would like to purchase the 3.0 version, you will be able to  ~  do so at a 50% discount off the retail price direct from the  ~  company. This is an offer to only those who have sent in the  ~  $39.00 registration fee.  ~  Getting Started  ~  ===============  ~  About this documentation  ~  This is a greatly abbreviated version of the reference  ~  manual that is available to registered users. Its sole purpose  ~  is to demonstrate how QUANT IX Portfolio Evaluator generally  ~  works. Our full documentation has chapters covering the theory  ~  of quantitative analysis, novice mode tutorial, expert mode  ~  tutorial, reports and descriptions, model references, and how to  ~  handle problems and use special features.  ~  Minimum Hardware Requirements  ~  - IBM PC/XT/AT or 100% compatible.  ~  - Dos version 2.1 or greater.  ~  - 128K clear memory (192K total).  ~  - Display monochrome or color; no graphics required.  ~  - Printer capable of printing 132 columns (ie. dot matrix in  ~  compressed.  ~  Limits and accuracy  ~  QUANT IX Portfolio evaluator ver 2.1 was written in dBase  ~  II ver 2.4 and compiled with Wordtech Systems compiler ver 1.4.  ~  Theoretically the program can handle 65,535 different security  ~  records. A single drive system can handle approximately 120  ~  securities. A two drive can handle 500, and a 10 megabyte hard  ~  disk system can handle about 10,000. Accuracy is limited to 10  ~  digits.  ~  System description  ~  The purpose of QUANT IX is to increase the efficiency of the  ~  investment decision making process by:  ~  - using accepted quantitative investment models to identify  ~  portfolio risk and return potential.  ~  - compiling important investment information.  ~  - organizing and classifying data.  ~  - allowing faster and more relevant investment decisions.  ~  2  ~  System features  ~  Included in QUANT IX's many features are the ability to:  ~  - operate in either a menu or command line mode.  ~  - produce 9 different professional reports.  ~  - manage multiple portfolios.  ~  - compare individual securities to one another.  ~  - ask "What-if" questions.  ~  - cross reference portfolios.  ~  System reports  ~  The Analysis Report: shows cost, market price and value,  ~  unrealized gain/loss, income, yield, earnings per share, P/E  ~  ratio and beta.  ~  The Summary Report: shows degree of diversification,  ~  quantitative model projections, and a summary of the  ~  important market universe statistics.  ~  The Fundamental Report: shows all the data and projections  ~  of the fundamental valuation model.  ~  The Modern Portfolio Theory Report: shows all the data and  ~  projections of the MPT model.  ~  The Inflation Adjusted Report: shows all the data and the  ~  projections of the Inflation Adjusted model.  ~  The Variable Growth Dividend Discount Report: shows all the  ~  data and projections of the Variable Growth Dividend Model.  ~  The Basis Report: organizes all the securities on a lot by  ~  lot basis showing portfolio percentages, unrealized gains  ~  and losses, and percentage gain/loss.  ~  The Cash Flow Report: shows all the data and the results of  ~  the cash flow model.  ~  Individual Stock Appraisals: show all relevant security  ~  information and projections for one on one comparisons.  ~  Install Procedure  ~  -----------------  ~  Prerequisites  ~  During the install procedure, certain DOS commands will be  ~  3  ~  used. They are 'COPY', 'DISKCOPY', and 'FORMAT'. If you have  ~  any doubt about the use of these commands, please review your DOS  ~  Manual.  ~  Backup procedure  ~  ----------------  ~  The first step in the install procedure, is to make an exact  ~  copy of the QUANT IX files supplied. The original files are in  ~  an archive called QPE21.ARC which you have already extracted.  ~  The next step is to make a back up copy of the QUANT IX files.  ~  First, format a blank floppy without the operating system on  ~  it. This is done by omitting the '/S' parameter from the format  ~  command and will give you the maximum usable space on your disk.  ~  Label this disk 'QUANT IX Working Copy.' When using a computer  ~  with two floppy drives, place the original disk in drive A: and  ~  the working copy in drive B:. Using the copy command, transfer  ~  all the files from the original disk to your working copy,  ~  i.e.'COPY A:*.* B:'. When using a computer with only one floppy  ~  drive, such as a PC-AT, use the 'DISKCOPY' command. Enter the  ~  command,'DISKCOPY A: A:', and follow the prompts placing first  ~  the original QUANT IX disk (SOURCE) and then the working copy  ~  (TARGET) in A:.  ~  Extremely Important  ~  At this juncture we must discuss a critical point. No  ~  matter what operating system you have with your computer, the  ~  cold boot source must contain a file called 'CONFIG.SYS'. This  ~  file is found on your working disk. If your system does not now  ~  have this file, simply copy the one found on your working copy of  ~  QUANT IX on to your cold boot disk (ie root directory of your  ~  hard disk). If your system already has the file 'CONFIG.SYS' on  ~  the boot disk, make sure the minimum values of "FILES=12" and  ~  "BUFFERS=16" are used and that "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" is included.  ~  The second file that must be present in the boot source is  ~  "ANSI.SYS" . THE "ANSI.SYS" CAN BE FOUND ON YOUR ORIGINAL DOS  ~  DISK. MAKE CERTAIN THIS FILE IS ON THE BOOT SOURCE.  ~  The   following   are   the   SETUP   procedures   for   three   different  ~  computer configurations:  ~  SETUP Single Drive  ~  Boot the system from the disk containing the file  ~  'CONFIG.SYS,' and 'ANSI.SYS' as above. Remove the boot disk and  ~  insert the working copy. Delete the following files in order to  ~  provide maximum space:  ~  PORTDATA  ~  PORTDATA.DBF  ~  COPYDATA.BAT  ~  4  ~  CONFIG.SYS  ~  Verify that the following files are on the working copy:  ~  QPE.EXE  ~  QPE.OVI  ~  QPE.OV2  ~  PORTDISC.TXT  ~  PORTDISC.DBF  ~  PORTSTRU.DBF  ~  PORTSRCH.DBF  ~  PORTLIST.DBF  ~  PORTCONS.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.NDX  ~  TESTPORT.DBF  ~  TESTPORT.NDX  ~  From   the   system   prompt,   enter   'QPE'   and   the   program   will  ~  sign on.  ~  SETUP Two Drives  ~  Boot the system from the disk containing the file  ~  'CONFIG.SYS' and 'ANSI.SYS' as above. Remove the boot disk and  ~  insert the working copy. Place a blank formatted disk in B:.  ~  This disk should be marked 'QUANT IX Data." From the system  ~  prompt, enter 'COPYDATA." When the system prompt returns, verify  ~  the following:  ~  Files on A:  ~  QPE.EXE  ~  QPE.OV1  ~  QPE.OV2  ~  PORTDATA.TXT  ~  PORTDATA.DBF  ~  Files on B:  ~  PORTDISC.TXT  ~  PORTDISC.DBF  ~  PORTSTRU.DBF  ~  PORTSRCH.DBF  ~  PORTLIST.DBF  ~  PORTCONS.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.NDX  ~  TESTPORT.DBF  ~  TESTPORT.NDX  ~  From   the   system   prompt,   enter   'QPE'   and   the   program   will  ~  sign on.  ~  5  ~  SETUP Hard Disk  ~  Cold   boot   the   system   as   you   normally   do,   making   sure   that  ~  the Boot Disk contains the file 'CONFIG.SYS' and 'ANSI.SYS' are  ~  contained in your root directory as described above.  ~  We suggest that you log into the hard disk, create, and then  ~  log into a sub-directory. The sub-directory is optional; you  ~  could stay in your main (root) directory. However, the sub  ~  directory is recommended to isolate the program and the data for  ~  future back-ups.  ~  For example, to make a sub-directory from the main directory  ~  enter 'MD QPE' (make directory). This will create a sub-  ~  directory called QPE. Next. enter the command 'CD QPE' (change  ~  directory). This will make the empty sub-directory you just  ~  created your current directory. Next, place your working copy of  ~  QUANT IX in A:. Using the 'COPY' command, transfer all the files  ~  from A: to C:, i.e. 'copy A:*.* C:. Your sub-directory named  ~  'QPE' now has all the programs and data needed to operate QUANT  ~  IX.  ~  Delete   the   following   files   from   the   sub-directory   in   order  ~  to provide maximum space:  ~  PORTDATA  ~  PORTDATA.DBF  ~  COPYDATA.BAT  ~  CONFIG.SYS (UNLESS YOU DID NOT CREATE A SUB-DIRECTORY  ~  AND ARE STILL IN THE MAIN DIRECTORY!!)  ~  Verify   that   the   following   files   are   in   your   new   QPE   sub-  ~  directory:  ~  QPE.EXE  ~  QPE.OV1  ~  QPE.OV2  ~  PORTDISC.TXT  ~  PORTDISC.DBF  ~  PORTSTRU.DBF  ~  PORTSRCH.DBF  ~  PORTLIST.DBF  ~  PORTCONS.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.DBF  ~  MASTPORT.NDX  ~  TESTPORT.DBF  ~  TESTPORT.NDX  ~  From the system prompt enter 'QPE' and the program will sign  ~  on.  ~  6  ~  NOTE: If you are starting from a cold boot, first log on to  ~  the hard disk i.e. C:. Then change from the current directory to  ~  the sub-directory where QPE is located. From the system prompt  ~  enter 'QPE' and the program will begin  ~  Install Rules  ~  The printer must be capable of printing either 80 column in  ~  compressed mode, or 132 column without compressed mode.  ~  The drive used to cold-boot the system must contain the file  ~  'CONFIG.SYS and also the commands 'Files=12' and 'Buffers=16' as  ~  minimum values, also a file "ANSI.SYS".  ~  The files QPE.EXE, QPE.OV1 and QPE.OV2 must be on the  ~  default drive. When the program signs on it looks to the default  ~  driver for the file PORTDATA.TXT.' If the file does not exist  ~  the program assumes all data files are on the default drive. If  ~  'PORTDATA.TXT' does exist, then 'PORTDATA.DBF' must also be on  ~  the default drive. If 'PORTDATA.TXT' exists, the program reads  ~  it and finds the drive where the data resides. 'PORTDATA.TXT' is  ~  a one line, two byte ASCII file. It can be created with any  ~  editor. The two bytes are a single letter followed by a colon.  ~  The single letter points to the data drive. For example: The  ~  contents of 'PORTDATA.TXT' on the working copy of a two floppy  ~  system are 'B:'  ~  Tutorial for the Menu (novice) Mode  ~  ===================================  ~  General information  ~  QUANT IX includes a sample individual and a sample master  ~  portfolio.  ~  A complete description of the command line options (which  ~  appears in the top mid section of screen while in Menu Mode) is  ~  available in the bound manual.  ~  QUANT IX always starts with the Master Portfolio as the  ~  current portfolio. The Master Portfolio acts as a library which  ~  contains all the common data for the various individual  ~  portfolios ( ie. dividends, earnings, market price, etc.).  ~  QUANT IX offers on-line help throughout the program at the  ~  users choice.  ~  Data entry is done in a "fill in the blanks" method. All  ~  fields which accept data are in Reverse video.  ~  When you come to "Waiting", use the ENTER key to continue.  ~  7  ~  Getting started  ~  You have RE-BOOTED your system as described above in the  ~  Install section. Go the the QPE area (Drive A or QPE  ~  subdirectory).From the operating system prompt enter:  ~  QPE  ~   ~  The screen will clear and display our copyright notice. Since you  ~  will be operating in the novice mode, wait until you see the main  ~  menu for MASTPORT (notice upper left corner of screen).  ~  Again, the Master Portfolio (MASTPORT) is the database that  ~  stores all common data for the individual portfolios. The common  ~  data need only be entered once to the MASTPORT and not repeatedly  ~  to each portfolio in the system.  ~  Other than the main menu, there are four other menus available.  ~  They are:  ~  PORTFOLIO MENU  ~  SYMBOL MENU  ~  REPORT MENU  ~  UTILITY MENU  ~  In-line help is available for each of these menus by selecting  ~  that choice.  ~  Change date command  ~  To change the date  ~  select #7  ~  (Note that the command line at the top middle of the screen is  ~  automatically filled with the entry used while in the expert  ~  mode.)  ~  The system date is the default value and can be changed by  ~  over-typing the displayed date.  ~  Change constants command  ~  The quantitative valuation models used by QUANT IX require  ~  several constant values. These are changed and updated by:  ~  selecting #8  ~  Advance the cursor to the field to be changed, enter the  ~  update, then use the PG DN KEY (or the repeatedly) until you  ~  return to the main menu.  ~  8  ~  Print list command  ~  To print a hard copy of the records in a portfolio  ~  (currently MASTPORT), make certain your printer is on-line and in  ~  the compressed mode (or able to print 132 columns across).  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #1 ~  packs and indexes  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #2 ~  prints the records  ~  Adding securities to the MASTPORT  ~  NOTE: in order to add a symbol to any individual portfolio,  ~  it must first be included in the MASTPORT.  ~  To add a security to the MASTPORT follow these instructions:  ~  select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  select #1 ~  add a symbol  ~  Enter the security symbol  ~  IBM  ~  You should now have a screen which needs with several blank  ~  data fields. Fill in the blanks with the proper information,  ~  then advance to the next field using the ENTER () KEY. The  ~  following is a brief definition for each field with sample data  ~  to enter for IBM.  ~  Symbol: security ticker symbol. Enter IBM.  ~  Name:  ~  name, description. Enter Int'l. Bus. Mach.  ~  Date:  ~  todays date  ~  Type:  ~  one of the following - U for US Governments, A  ~  for Agencies, E for Tax Exempts, B for Corporate  ~  Bonds, P for Preferred Stocks, F for Mutual  ~  Funds, S for Common Stocks, X for Special.  ~  Enter S.  ~  Class: ~  used for Type S and Type X. If Type S, then  ~  either C for Cyclical Stock, E for Energy Stock,  ~  G for Growth Stock, S for Stable Stock.  ~  If Type X, then Class is X. These class are  ~  used to show equity diversification on the  ~  Summary Report. Enter G.  ~  YEflag: Enter a "*" if fiscal year is different than  ~  calendar   year.   IBM's   fiscal   year   ends   12/31   so  ~  leave blank.  ~  Mktprice: current market price. Enter 160.  ~  Div int/shr: current dividend per share or bond  ~  coupon rate. Enter 3.65.  ~  9  ~  Earn/share: for equities only, earnings per share. Enter  ~  10.  ~  Beta:  ~  for equities only, beta factor. Enter 1.10.  ~  Proj. div: for equities only, the 12mos. projected dividend  ~  per share. Enter 4.  ~  Proj. earn: for equities only, 12mos. projected earnings per  ~  share. Enter 12.  ~  Grow div: for equities only, the projected dividend growth  ~  rate. Enter 20 (this is 20 percent).  ~  Trailing p/e: for equities only, the trailing (lagging) p/e  ~  ratio. Enter 14.  ~  The following data items are found in a company's annual report -  ~  the financial reports section. They apply to equities only, and  ~  under normal circumstances are updated annually.  ~  Truncation of zeros will be necessary, be careful to be  ~  consistent.  ~  Wrk cap: working capital from operations.

Enter  ~  1300.  ~  Chg. debt: calculate the change in short term debt (due in  ~  one year) between this and last year. Enter  ~  300.  ~  Cap exp: enter the amount of capital spending for this  ~  year. Enter 4500.  ~  Tot div: enter the amount of total dividends paid. Enter  ~  700.  ~  The last two items to be entered are:  ~  Cfgro his: enter the percentage cash flow historically has  ~  grow. Enter 11.  ~  Cfgro fut: enter the expected future percentage growth in  ~  cash flow. Enter 15.  ~  You have now entered a security to the MASTPORT. Respond to the  ~  yes/no question to either return to the Main Menu or to correct a  ~  data entry error.  ~  Changing an asset  ~  To update the data in a security record  ~  select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  10  ~  select #2 ~  change symbol  ~  enter security symbol, use the ENTER () KEY to advance  ~  to the field, make the change, then PG DN KEY to end of the  ~  record. Respond yes or no to finish the change.  ~  Deleting an asset  ~  To remove an asset from the portfolio, follow these steps.  ~  If you delete a record from the master portfolio, it must not be  ~  still in any individual portfolio. In other words, if individual  ~  portfolio A sells IBM, but individual portfolio B still owns IBM,  ~  delete the record in individual portfolio A, not the MASTPORT.  ~  select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  select #4 ~  delete a symbol  ~  enter the symbol you wish to delete. FOR THE SAKE OF THIS  ~  TUTORIAL, DELETE THE SAME SYMBOL YOU ADDED ABOVE.  ~  Respond to the delete question yes. You now have marked the  ~  record to be deleted. The actual deletion occurs when you  ~  institute the Pack command.  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #1 ~  activate Pack command  ~  QUANT IX will now delete the record and re-index the portfolio.  ~  Setting up an individual portfolio  ~  You have now explored the main commands used in the  ~  MASTPORT. Now you will turn your attention to the individual  ~  portfolio.  ~  Individual portfolios are identified by a four letter code.  ~  For example, ABCD portfolio becomes ABCDPORT in the program. The  ~  individual portfolios contain all the specific portfolio  ~  information such as purchase dates, number of shares, cost, etc.  ~  (remember that the MASTPORT holds common data such as security  ~  name, dividends per share, etc.).  ~  To enter an individual portfolio:  ~  select #9 ~  change portfolio  ~  enter the four character code. You should enter "TEST" to  ~  gain access to the sample set up for this demonstration.  ~  11  ~  Notice the upper left hand corner of the screen. The  ~  portfolio has been changed from MASTPORT to TESTPORT.  ~  Displaying records in an individual portfolio  ~  To display individual records, which are separated lot by  ~  lot, use these steps.  ~  select #2 ~  access symbol menu  ~  select #5 ~  display symbol  ~  enter the symbol "MO". The first of 3 different pages  ~  comes up on the screen. Use the choices at the bottom to  ~  move from page to page, go to the next security lot, or quit  ~  and return to Main Menu.  ~  Updating individual portfolios  ~  After every change either to the model constants, MASTPORT  ~  data items, or individual data items the portfolios need to be  ~  update.  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #2 ~  update portfolio  ~  QUANT IX will now update and recalculate the valuation  ~  models.  ~  (You can update multiple portfolios by using the Update all  ~  selection.)  ~  Printing reports  ~  After the portfolio has been updated, the reports can be  ~  printed.  ~  select #3 ~  access Reports Menu  ~  now select which reports you wish to print (make certain  ~  your printer is on-line and set to print 132 columns).For  ~  this demonstration,  ~  select #7 ~  prints common series  ~  enter report headings  ~  The reports will now print.  ~  Setting up a new portfolio  ~  To set up a new portfolio  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #1 ~  add a portfolio  ~  12  ~  enter new prefix. Enter ABCD for now, then .  ~  Changing portfolios  ~  Now change to the new ABCDPORT.  ~  select #9 ~  change portfolio  ~  enter "ABCD" access ABCDPORT  ~  Notice the upper left portion of the screen which identifies  ~  the current portfolio as ABCDPORT.  ~  Adding assets to individual portfolio  ~  Remember in order to add any security to an individual  ~  portfolio it must have first been added to the master portfolio.  ~  For this tutorial add "PG". Further assume that you have two  ~  different purchases (lots) of PG with the following information:  ~  100 shs. @ $40.00 per share on 02/01/83  ~  100 shs. @ $45.00 per share on 10/02/84  ~  Each lot is added separately to the program  ~  select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  select #1 ~  add symbol  ~  enter PG for the symbol  ~  Now enter the data for the first purchase. After you have  ~  done so, repeat the process for the second lot of PG.  ~  The lots are considered collectively on all the reports  ~  except the Basis Report.  ~  Deleting an asset  ~  Now we know that the only asset in ABCDPORT is 200 shares of  ~  Procter and Gamble, purchased in two 100 share lots. Let's  ~  say that we sell 100 of those shares.  ~  Select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  Now that you mark the record to be deleted.  ~  Select #3 ~  delete symbol  ~  Enter symbol PG  ~  QUANT   IX   will   now   display   the   first   lot   entered.   (In   this  ~  case, also, the one we held the longest). We will answer  ~  the questions with a 'N' because we want to delete only the  ~  second 100 share lot. Type 'N' at the question.  ~  Now   the   program   shows   us   the   second   100   share   lot   purchased  ~  13  ~  on 10/02/84. This is the lot we want to delete, so answer  ~  the question with a 'Y'.  ~  QUANT IX has now marked the 100 shares we want to delete.  ~  Because we made a deletion we need to use the Pack command  ~  in order to reorganize our ABCDPORT. We must always use the  ~  Pack command after making deletions.  ~  select #1 ~  access Portfolio Menu  ~  select #5 ~  Pack portfolio  ~  IMPORTANT!!! DO NOT TRY THE THIS NEXT INSTRUCTION WITHOUT ADDING  ~  BACK   THE   100   SHARES   OF   PROCTE R   AND   GAMBLE   YOU   JUST   DELETED .  ~  SIMPLY   GO   BACK   TO   THE   SECTION   OF   THIS   TUTORIAL   WHICH   DISCUSSES  ~  ADDING AN ASSET AND ADD BACK 100 SHARES OFF PROCTER AND GAMBLE TO  ~  THIS PORTFOLIO.  ~  You have now learned how to delete an asset from a new,  ~  individual portfolio.  ~  Changing assets in the individual portfolio  ~  If you had sold 150 shares of PG instead of 100, you would  ~  have changed the share number on the first lot using the Change  ~  Command.  ~  Select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  Select #2 ~  change symbol  ~  Enter Symbol PG  ~  QUANT IX will ask you if you want to change this record.  ~  (The first purchase of PG that you made.) At the bottom of  ~  the screen, answer the question with a 'Y' and .  ~  QUANT IX has indicated the only data fields that we can  ~  change--Acquisition Date, Shares/Par and/or Cost. We don't  ~  want to do anything to the Date, but we do want to make some  ~  adjustments to the Shares and Cost data fields. Advance the  ~  cursor to the Share/Par field.  ~  Type 50 shares over the 100 share showing for the first lot.  ~  and then .  ~  We want to do this because 50 of those shares have been  ~  sold. We also have to adjust the cost to reflect the sale.  ~  To do this, we have to  ~  Type 2000 over 4000 in the cost data field and then .  ~  We want to do this because we sold 1/2 of the share in this  ~  lot, so we have to also reduce our cost by 1/2.  ~  14  ~  QUANT IX now asks if this record is OK? Answer with 'Y'.  ~  QUANT IX will now display the second lot of 100 shares.  ~  Since you have SOLD this entire lot, there is nothing to  ~  "CHANGE", so you MUST answer 'N' to the question. Now,  ~  QUANT IX has directed you back to the Main Menu.  ~  How   do   we   take   care   of   the   other   100   shares   sold?   By   using  ~  the Delete Command.  ~  Select #2 ~  access Symbol Menu  ~  Select #3 ~  delete symbol  ~  Enter symbol PG  ~  QUANT IX will first show you the 50 share lot you just  ~  changed. This one you want to keep, so answer the question  ~  with 'N'.  ~  Now the program will show you the second 100 share lot  ~  purchased on 10/2/84. This is the one you want to Delete,  ~  so answer the question with a 'Y'. You should now be back  ~  at the Main Menu. Remember that you must use the Pack  ~  command.  ~  Select #1 ~   ~  Select #5 ~   ~  Other Commands to Try  ~  Now that we have done a walk through, there are still a few  ~  commands which have not been tried. Using the Help Options for  ~  the appropriate menus and you will see these are self-  ~  explanatory.  ~  Security Search  ~  While in the Main Menu for either the Master Portfolio or an  ~  Individual Portfolio, a security search (cross reference) can be  ~  initiated. This feature was designed to quickly find a  ~  particular stock from a large number of portfolios.  ~  Select #5  ~   ~  Enter the symbol PG. QUANT IX will find the security in all  ~  the portfolios, print a report showing the detail of each  ~  position, and return you to the main menu.  ~  15  ~  What if Command  ~  The What If command can be initiated from the main menu of  ~  either the MastPort or an Individual Portfolio.  ~  Select #6  ~   ~  The cursor will now be flashing at the word Symbol. If the  ~  security being tested is currently part of the MastPort, type the  ~  ticker symbol over the word Symbol followed by blanks to  ~  completely cover there rest of the field. to the end of page  ~  1. You will be advanced to page 2. The screen displays the  ~  current price projections using the unchanged data in  ~  MastPort. to the end of the file in order to return to page  ~  1. Now perform your What If test by changing any of the  ~  variables. Advance again, with the to the end of the file  ~  to display page 2. Page 2 reflects the new valuations resulting  ~  form your test.  ~  If you are testing a new security, (one that is not already  ~  in your MastPort) the procedure is slightly different.
