If, as stated, this program relies on Yahoo for data then its worthless. I am a long-time Yahoo finance user and, until now, I've learned to live with all its imperfections (incorrect accounting for splits, incorrect closing prices, no closing prices, inability to value portfolios correctly on the detailed portfolio pages). At the moment one of my portfolios is over 50% incorrect in Yahoo. While this is an all time high, this same data apparently drives StockBuddy.

Stock Buddy is exactly what I want with two exceptions! 1. It does not save your entered stock information upon "shut down". I don't want to "re-enter" each time I use it. 2. It needs a print feature so that daily information can be saved. It it had those two features it would be outstanding.
