System: Welcome to Princeton Brokerage. I can help you get quotes, set up a watch list, trade equities or options, and access your account information. To get a quote, simply say the name of the company. To set up a watch list, say, "Set up watch list," and then you will be asked for each company you want to put in your list. After you set up a watch list, you can get quotes for all of the companies on your list simply by saying, "Watch list." To make additions or deletions, say, "Edit watch list." To make a trade, say, "Buy" or "Sell," followed by the name of the company you want to trade, the number of shares, and the price. For example, you can say, "Buy a hundred shares of Intel at eighty-two," or "Sell fifty shares of Apple at the market." To trade options, say, "Options." To access your account information, say, "Account information." You will then be able to ask for your cash position, your holdings on any particular company, or a summary of all of your holdings.
