This new section doubles the amount of stock research and includes a new Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Center to help individual investors make smarter and faster decisions.

"Scottrade's new Quotes and Research section will help investors make better trading decisions and react rapidly to investment opportunities," said Kevin Dodson, Scottrade's Director of Product Development. "Scottrade is dedicated to providing the most useful and relevant investing information making it easier for our customers to make their own investment decisions."

Highlights of the new Quotes and Research Section include:

Financial Analysis Made Easy with SmartText

SmartText interprets the technical analysis studies on Scottrade's main Trading Web Site in plain English, making it easier for investors to act on the information that Scottrade provides.

Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Center with Lipper Leader Scorecard

In addition to centralizing its Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF) into one section to support the growing popularity of these investments, Scottrade customers can customize their ETF criteria and get results in real time using new and fully-customizable ETF screeners.

Lipper Leader research has also been built into the ETF center. This is a scorecard that allows investors to view a third-party source score to see how a particular ETF compares against other ETFs.

Insider Transaction Predictive Score

The upgraded site also has an insider transaction section from Thomson Financial that identifies insiders (company executives and/or board members) who buy or sell their company's stock and then uses a comparative proprietary performance ranking for each insider based on the stock's performance after the trades. Scottrade customers can use these scores to assist them in making decisions and finding opportunities.
