ch_client = "manojt"; ch_width = 300; ch_height = 250; ch_type = "mpu"; ch_sid = "Chitika Default"; ch_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.theunrealuniverse.com/ads/ads1.php?size=300x250&kwds="; ch_color_site_link = "#164675"; ch_color_title = "#164675"; ch_color_border = "#B0C9EB"; ch_color_text = "#333333"; ch_color_bg = "#FFFFFF"; For some months now, I’ve been using Bloomberg Mobile on my iPod Touch to keep myself updated on what’s happening to my stock portfolio. The thing I liked about Bloomberg is it allowed me to monitor stocks from almost any stock exchange in the world, like the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).
