Globeinvestor Problems & Questions
Your stocklist resides in several cookies on your computer. If you have one of those anti-spyware programs that sees cookies as spyware, it will offer to delete them for you. Deleting your cookies in your browser settings or uninstalling your browser will accomplish the same thing.
In my opinion, the best way to look after your cookies is to view them in your browser and delete the ones from sites you don't want to remember anything about you. Do not delete anything with "Globe" or your bank name in the title.
It is possible to back up your cookies so you can restore them in the event of loss, or move them to another computer. Firefox keeps them in a folder inside C:\Documents and Settings\login name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles
Copy the entire profile folder to another location to make a backup; copy it back to restore.
Sorry, I don't know where Explorer stores cookies.

Disappearance of Globe Investor Stock List
This past week-end with family visiting they decided I should be using Firefox rather than IE. What a surprise when I found my stocklist on Globe had disappeared. Firefox also mentioned that my TDWH was no longer secure. Luckily I found a way of reinstalling IE and Voila! everything was back to normal

Leaving GlobeinvestorGOLD
I've decided to let my membership of GlobeGOLD lapse. I've got years and years of data that I'd like to download - I'm presuming there's no way to do this? I can't see one...but if there is, would appreciate some pointers!
(besides manually retyping everything, which ain't gonna happen)
(maybe I'll just note my gains and losses - i've not been tracking for several months anyway )
thanks

Since I'll get whacked if I call you a troll, I'll be nice - try googling globeinvestorgold, it's not hard, google doesn't bite, google is your friend.Happy Days wrote:I heard GlobeGold doesn't have money market rates. What is it good for?
Hits 1 and 2 should help.
Hey that wasn't so bad. I didn't call him a troll and I helped him. God, I feel wonderful. This could be the start of something.
Communication with old people is difficult as they feel superior to you and find difficulty in remembering anything.

I'm happy that I could be part of that.

Actually, I did try cutting and pasting to excel before I posted - and sadly, without perhaps knowing how to do it properly, all the data came in to one cell - which is not good as i've amassed years of little transactions.

How about cut and paste to a word document then sort it after the fact. At least you'll get all the info you want before your subscription expires.

Yeah, the way around that is this:and sadly, without perhaps knowing how to do it properly, all the data came in to one cell
1. Go to the transactions page and select and edit/copy all the transactions (you can even grab the headers of each column too if you want).
2. Open a spreadsheet and select edit/Paste Special. The popup will let you select to paste as HTML code. Select that, and all the columns will be preserved onto your spreadsheet, but it will be in HTML. You can convert that to normal code as follows.........
3. Select and copy the entire section (that you just pasted on the spreadsheet), and again select Paste Special. Select Paste Values into your final destination where you want your data.
I just tried this with GlobeGold and it worked fine...

OK - I created a quick test using WebBroker Select, which I believe is the same backend as GlobeInvestorGold. Please correct me if I'm wrong.uhoh wrote:Actually, I did try cutting and pasting to excel before I posted - and sadly, without perhaps knowing how to do it properly, all the data came in to one cell - which is not good as i've amassed years of little transactions.
I entered a couple of transactions, see
I then selected them all and pasted into Excel 2003 and got this,
which appears to work properly.
Have I missed something here? I'm willing to do some more investigate, so PM me if you'd like to take this off-line.
