Your portfolio from the traditional website will carry over to thefly.com upon logging in for the first time. The portfolio will be listed as "Main Portfolio." You can add up to 11 more portfolios.
Thefly.com has enhanced portfolio features and allows you to create up to 12 portfolios with up to 150 stocks in each. The traditional website allows for only one portfolio. Portfolio alert emails will be generated from the last site you logged into. Thus, if you set up more than one portfolio on thefly.com, and then log into the traditional website, you will not receive alerts on your new portfolios. You will only receive alert emails for thefly.com portfolios if that website is last one you logged into.

In conjunction with the launch of thefly.com, The Fly is simplifying its subscription model into only two tiers. To see our new subscription model click here.

If your current theflyonthewall.com subscription is to all Fly services, nothing will change as you start using thefly.com. You can simply login and keep enjoying the same access to which you are accustomed.
If you have a partial subscription to theflyonthewall.com, for example, News only or Syndicate only, you can enjoy thefly.com in its entirety, free of charge, for 60 days. Your 60 day full-site access will begin the first day you log in at thefly.com. After 60 days, your access to thefly.com will revert to the original access you have currently at www.theflyonthewall.com.

In the upper right corner of the page, click on My Account, then select Billing on the drop-down menu to see details about your current subscription.

As an existing and loyal subscriber, we are grandfathering your current subscription onto the new site at no additional charge. Therefore, all the information you access on the traditional website will work on thefly.com at the same billing rate, even if your current subscription is no longer offered to new Fly subscribers.
If you would like to keep the level of access enjoyed during the 60 day trial, you will need to upgrade your subscription to Full Access. Click here for a plan comparison.

No, when the trial period ends, all the information you can access on the traditional website will be available to you on thefly.com with no additional action on your part. However, if you would like to keep the level of access enjoyed during the 60 day trial, you will need to upgrade your subscription to Full Access.

The Breaking News section of the site is a live news feed of information that is moving the market. The feed scrolls continuously, displaying any content that is added to the site.

Below are the categories of stories on the Breaking News feed:

• Hot Stocks: Company press releases, SEC filings, government agency announcements
• Recommendation: Analyst research without rating change
• Upgrade: Analyst upgrade
• Downgrade: Analyst downgrade
• Initiation: Analyst rating company for first time
• Rumor: Unconfirmed market chatter impacting stocks
• Syndicate: IPO and Secondary filings, block trades, pricings
• Conference/Events: Company speaking on conference calls, at conferences, with analysts. FDA action dates, government meetings
• General news: Macroeconomic news, economic numbers
• Earnings: Company earnings, forward guidance
• Technical Analysis: Proprietary technical analysis done exclusively by The Fly's analysts
• Periodicals: Media reports, with link to original story
• Options: Proprietary option trading analysis done exclusively by The Fly's analysts
• On The Fly: Exclusive stories and interviews by The Fly's staff

When a story is deemed important and seen as having the potential to quickly or significantly move a stock's price, the editors at The Fly may highlight it, meaning that it will briefly have a red background to stand out from the rest of the stories on the news feed.

There are two main ways to tailor the Breaking News feed to meet your unique needs: by changing the Filters or viewing a Portfolio News feed.

• Filters: Selecting the categories of stories you would like to see (and filtering out the ones you don't) is one way to manage the Breaking News feed. You can do this by clicking Filters and checking on or off the boxes for the categories of stories you would like to view.
• Portfolio News: You can easily view news about just the stocks in one of your portfolios, if preferred. To view your selected portfolio in place of Breaking News from all companies, select one of your portfolios from the drop-down box and click Search. You can easily toggle between your different portfolios using the drop-down box.

Yes. The Fly allows users to monitor a feed of stories focused only on the stocks in one of their portfolios. To view your selected portfolio in place of breaking news from all companies, select one of your portfolios from the drop-down box and click Search. This feed will automatically update as news breaks on stocks in your selected portfolio.

Some news content can only be viewed with a subscription. Subscribe now or learn more about our subscription plans.

The Breaking News Pop-out is a feature available only to subscribers that allows the breaking news feed to be viewed as a separate webpage with a slimmed down interface.

The Fly, in fulfilling its mission of explaining stock movement, often comes across the many unconfirmed rumors being passed through trading desks and social media platforms. On the occasion that rumors or speculation appear on The Fly's news feed, it should be viewed not as giving credence to the conjecture, rather as simply highlighting its impact on the stock prices of the companies involved.

A feature of The Fly is the On The Fly tab, which focuses on stories that are exclusive to thefly.com. The page includes stories about the day's most notable movers, commentary on the major averages and the broader market and previews of upcoming events, such as earnings reports.

The Fly can alert you about breaking news on the stocks in your portfolios to make sure you never fall behind on the most important stories moving those shares. Alerts can come in any combination of a pop-up window, an email and a sound. Portfolio Alerts are specific to stocks that you indicate you are interested in and triggered when ANY type of news is added about those stocks. So, if you have a position in Apple and want to make sure you don't miss any breaking news about the company, add stock symbol AAPL to your portfolio and we'll keep you up-to-the-second on it, in the way that you choose.

• Under the heading Notifications, check off the type(s) of Portfolio Alerts you prefer. If you do not make a selection, you will be able to save the Portfolio you have defined but you WILL NOT receive alerts about the portfolio.
• Click Save after entering all symbols and making your Notifications selections
• On the My Portfolios page, move the position of any portfolio by mousing over the move icon and clicking and dragging it to the desired position

The My Portfolios section provides subscribers with a unique graphical representation of how much news activity there has been in their selected portfolios over a certain time period. Users can select their preferred time frame from the drop-down box at the top of the page. Additionally, the My Portfolios page provides an easy-to-use interface for making changes to portfolios by clicking the pencil icon or to launch a portfolio news feed by clicking the magnifying glass icon.

In addition to Portfolio Alerts, you can sign up to receive a heads-up (either via a pop-up window, an email, a sound, or any combination of the three) whenever The Fly adds a certain type of story to our site. So, if you want to know about any and all analyst comments that we report, add a Street Research alert. Or, if you want to stay current on all IPO and stock offering news, create a Syndicate alert.

The Fly offers three types of Morning Newsletters: News, Events and Syndicate. The Newsletters come in the form of e-mails which are delivered daily to your inbox before the market opens. The Events and Syndicate Newsletters contain all of the stories that have been published up to 7:15 AM from the specified area of the site. The News Newsletter contains all stories published before 8:30 AM.

If you would like to subscribe to any (or all) of the Fly Newsletters, click My Account in the upper right hand corner of any page on the site then select Alerts on the drop-down menu. Under the Story Alerts tab, choose the associated check boxes to begin receiving (or stop receiving) the Newsletter the next morning. You MUST click the Save button at the bottom of the page for the changes to take effect.

Well, there are too many ways to list...the Alert system is one of the most powerful features of the site! But, since you asked, here are some suggestions:

• Create a portfolio of all of the stocks you currently own so you never miss a market moving event related to your investments.
• Create a portfolio of stocks you are researching or considering owning so that you can make a more informed decision before you outlay your money.
• Create a portfolio of major stocks in a specific segment or industry so you can keep abreast of news in that space.
• If you are actively trading, create a sound Alert for Street Research and Rumors, both of which are types of stories that are very immediately actionable (and, of course, stay tuned all day to Fly Cast for the most critical, most actionable news).

If you have a stock in your portfolio, you will receive alerts on all stories entered on that name. At this time there is no way to reduce portfolio stock alerts by eliminating certain story types.

Yes. The alerts you receive won't be in a new window so the browser won't block them.

Fly Cast is like a traditional Wall Street squawk box, but for individual investors. It's an audio product that broadcasts only the most critical news before the market opens and features break-in calls during the trading day. Before the market opens, Fly Cast will ready you for the trading session with updates on market-moving events from after yesterday's close and before the day's action. While the market is open, Fly Cast will break-in with analyst calls and top stories the moment they hit. Subscribers have told us that they prefer our intra-day style, which only announces when meaningful news pops to one filled with constant, distracting chatter.

In two primary ways:

• During the trading day, Fly Cast breaks-in with ONLY the most critical, actionable news items; events like upgrades and downgrades, economic number reports, and m&a reports
• The Fly Cast doesn't have any commercials, advertisers, or format restraints. So, the second a story happens, we can and will report it to you immediately

Most likely, nothing is wrong. Fly Cast only broadcasts critical news as it breaks so if you are listening between news breaks, you may not hear anything. But, if you are certain you are experiencing a technical difficulty, click here to notify us.

You can access Fly Cast from the bottom of any page once you are logged in. If you're not a Full Access subscriber or you are not logged in, you will not see the Fly Cast player at the bottom of the page. Once you have logged in, click on Fly Cast at the bottom of the page. A box will pop up with and the player will be running. Keep in mind there isn't constant sound, so you may need to keep it running for a few minutes before hearing a breaking story.

If you have a Basic Plan and want to upgrade to Full Access and get Fly Cast, you can log into your account to compare plans and change your subscription.
