Bivio has made it realy easy for us to track our investment and tax reporting. I agree with others when you ask for new innovations and improvements. The voting poll is a nice feature to have. Also, historical graphs on the stock performance would be a nice feature.

This is the crux of our problem. You can get the services for free
not only from network54, but from Yahoo Groups and many others. There
is therefore no economic incentive for us to develop them. Yes, they
are "nice to haves", but would you pay for them? Our value
proposition is simplifying your tax/accounting problem. No one on the
Internet can touch our price and service quality in this space.

Even though our competitor offers these features, their tax software
has, uh, how shall I say, had a number of issues last year. And,
their services are significantly more expensive and less featureful in
many other areas, e.g. the ability to automatically download
transactions, create public club pages/message boards, spam/virus
protection, deep discounts for referring new customers, and ad free.

Please continue to email support@bivio.com or this board for features
you like. In one or two weeks, you'll see a new feature which has
been requested frequently. We keep track of the numbers, and we try
to implement the ones which are most popular while maintaining the
high service quality of the features we already have.

Thanks for the input,
