>>Ed, thank you for your time in sending me the five year chart. What I want really is 5 one year charts! So I can see the splits, earnings and stock price in more detail. For instance I want to know how the stock price, splits, fed rate increases, and earnings look IN DETAIL in the summer or winter months in each individual year. I want to look at 5 separate one year charts! This is what I can't find. <<Rascal If I can't help maybe someone else on the thread can point you in the right direction. Ed

Rascal, if you are an AOL subscriber, here's how you can look at the price chart showing High, Low, Close daily for any period you select. No Open and no Volume, but it shows the overall price trend nicely. It'll show about 7 months data on the screen (800*600) and you can scroll to view the rest. Click on Quotes in AOL main tool bar, then Historical Quotes on right side of window, then select Custom, and enter e.g. daily 01/01/95 thru 12/31/95. By the way, it easy to forget how far AOL has come. Chart shows AOL traded at about $1.70 on 1/3/95. jd

One of the things I like about Quote.com's Q-charts (besides the real time feed, time/sales, flexible displays, alerts, etc. etc.) is the ability to scroll any chart, (whether it's a 1, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minute intraday or a day, week, month, quarter chart), backwards to any time period you like. I find this a very useful feature for precisely the reasons that you're looking for such a chart capability. It allows you to look back in detail at the effect of stock splits, earnings, etc, which tend to get buried if you just pull up say a 5 year chart. For example, the 65% decrease in AOL between March and July 1996 looks pretty tame on a 5 year chart, but it looks as awful as it really was when you go back and look at the daily chart for that same time period. Unfortunately, you can't get Q-charts without a subscription, and I can't post charts for you to look at since Q-charts is a WIN 95/98 application with a real time data feed. David T.
