How do I delete companys in the Recent Quotes column of yahoo finance ?

Question

all the info is tailored to adding symbols but there are no guidelines for purging old stuff.

Answer 1

For the recent stuff, it just keeps track of your most recent stocks that you've accessed as a convenience.

If you take a few moments to create a portfolio, you won't need to keep typing in the quotes for stocks you're looking for.  PLUS, you'll be able to edit any of your portfolios to get rid of old stuff.  ;-)

Hope that helps!
