The system includes a central processing unit for processing financial information and for creating graphic displays from numerical data, a demonstrator station and at least one viewer station. Both demonstrator and viewer stations include display means for displaying financial information in graphic and textual form. The demonstrator station further comprises data entry means for entering alphanumeric data, and input means for inputting signals to direct the display of information on the display means of both the demonstrator station and the viewer station or stations. The graphic information displayed on the viewer station display means is a subset of the information displayed on the demonstrator station displaying means. The system also includes means for generating graphic displays based on entered data.
