Atin, I just discovered StockCharts and thought the PnF charts looked familiar. Thank you very much! I am also delighted by some of the other features on StockCharts that I have not seen elsewhere. For example, the McClellan chart. Regards Gottfried

Atin, another idea I envision: It first involved applying it to the new iShares, streetTracks, Holdrs, Indices & Mutual Funds.......but, of course, would work well with stocks, too: Having the ability to plug in a portfolio of at least 250 symbols & rank them by performance between two dates. The portfolio would be constant, the dates variable. Yahoo offers something similar, but no bananas. Yahoo will only work if you plug in the closing prices for the first date. That's a time consuming chore for a sizeable portfolio because you can't "lock in" both the first date & prices (only the prices if you actually knew what they were & typed in each price individually - ugh!), nor can one readily retrieve prior prices. And their second date is always the current date, which doesn't help if one is attempting to analyze a prior time frame. Anyway, it's just an idea. But is it a programmers dream or nightmare? Keep up the great work, Atin! We truly enjoy & thank you for the fruits of your labor! Tig
