Thanks Barry for all that you do. Most people has access to charts either free or with a vendor. What is needed is advice, and user comments that continues to observe, criticize and action plan against the political insiders and their lobbyists who have bankrupted Wall Street, Mainstreet and Washington. Charting, as you do, follows the money.

Save your money!

I agree that having someone of your caliper providing technical analysis charting and commentary would be an outstanding feature. But it seems to me that any cost that is so close to a breakeven factor would put an unfair strain on your web efforts.

Your articles and commentary are already more than can be expected for a fee-free website, I don’t think most of your readers would want you to struggle with the extra costs, especially since so many of us have our own charting available (just not experts at using it, speaking for myself).

If you really wanted to spend the time and ramp-up technical charting then a small fee for access would make sense with some sort of free area to highlight examples of the analysis you provide within the the fee area.

Your site is a “must-browse” for me, thank you for all your work, Cliff Walton

free chart ponies? Do it. It’s a timely notion in line with the zeitgeist and one more reason for other$ to visit.
imho

My apologies for not ignoring the blatant thread jack by our pet neocon.

Speaking of charts, I thought y’all would enjoy this one.

I’m a chartaholic, but while the chart ability would be nice, what I’d really like to see is the ability to suck down the data where I can massage it in different programs. Nothing fancy, just time series and HOLC and maybe volume. But entire histories of that data instead of “from 2001, etc)

I nice addition–thanks. At the risk of sounding greedy… the more hard to find info in one place the better your growth/readership/unique page hits etc = more ad $. Sooooo, i would ask what about

1. up to date key data : what i try and look at daily is dollar index, Baltic dry shipping, TED spreads, LIBOR, 10 year T-bond, Investor Sentiment tracking poll [although investor sentiment as a contrary indicator is becoming so conventional wisdom i wonder if it will soon be contra-contra...], up/down volume and total v average volume on major exchanges [that may be in the widget your adding] among others

2. options activity. Daily flags for extreme [greater than a standard deviation say] for unusual put/call buys on indices/stocks/ETFs at what strike price and expiration.

NOW that would be da bomb!

thanks

I really like your site. There are currently “free real time” charting options offered by brokerage firms. One of the things that I think might attract traffic would be a “scan engine”. A scan engine would permit users to perform tech analysis scans on companies (russell 1000 universe) using either endofday or real time data. I would not be so much interested in just the charts. Serious traders usually have there own setups which are, most of the time, more sophisticated than the “free stuff” that’s offered. There are not a lot of good technical analysis scan engines out there. stockcharts.com has a good one. Metastock has a great one, but it’s very expensive…..Again, most brokerage firms have their own scan engines embedded in the platform. Back to charts…..It’s really hard to comment on the software up or down, without being able to see it……..If it’s good, I think you’ll get traffic. Everyone’s definition of good is different.
