On Yahoo Finance--when I access my portfolios the numbers keep changing. The total keeps changing. What's up

Question

All the numbers on my portfolios keep changing colors and changing values. The total is right at the very beginning for a second, then it changes to another number. The computer clicks with each change. Last week it was just the total, now it is all the numbers on the file. Poltergeists? I've had these portfolios on Yahoo for seven years so I don't think it is me going crazy!!!!!

Answer 1

It looks like Yahoo! has added a feature that updates your portfolio when the prices change. This is a good thing.

If it scares you to see the number change -- only look when markets are closed.
