So how do you create a watchlist?

How to create my personal stock watch?
How to create my own stock portfolio

You are essentially asking two questions.

A personal stock watch is usually called a watchlist. You can pick stock you want to track and list them down into what they call "watchlists" that show a whole list of stocks, their bid and ask prices, volume, highs and lows and whatever else you want them to show. Your borker would usually provide this as a free service.

How do you create a stock portfolio?
Well first of all you need to establish what your goals are. From there you can pick your stocks to buy - whether you want a cheap an unwanted stock that would hopefully rise in coming years, or a known giant hoping to reap the dividend rewards.
