Your gonna have some fun charting

I'm not easily impressed when it comes to free stuff to get you to pay for better stuff, but when the free stuff is just downright great... I have to pass it on.... this next link takes you to a charting platform page which shows a list for a Canadian Stock scan... in the left panel... if not... of Nasdaq stocks in the left panel.... either way... click the one or the other to change it (or just select a stock from that scan) and select something you may prefer to scan for... once the scan completes......left click a stock ticker, and it moves to the chart...

Once that is done.. you can left click a ticker in the chart module, and from there you can chart anything you want... I set it up with some basic indicators... and the time line might be something you want to play with. Have fun!

 You might want to favorite the page in the Favorites bar at the top of IE for quick surfing later.

Fast Forward

In the previous couple of posts, I suggested the standard method of portfolio protection would be to take heed of the go away in May (and the looming head and shoulders), and come back late fall. In particular, because I follow only the Canadian exchanges, this particular yearly phenominum has a consistent meaning. Had I filled the pages with what I consider to be wasted breath while waiting for something of note to print, the point would have been missed listening to myself patter on, leaving a huge pile of bung that would keep any person, who may have been reading i,t from making the connection to today's post. Alas, I'm sure it was a test of patience.

As well, I like to keep posts short; it seems that those of my persuasion like to be able to do the dirty without much reading, so that long winded posts often only get scanned with the real meat, often being mis-interptreted, which then leads to some newbie crack while eating glass from the crystal ball.

Therefore, I often break up posts with posts, such that each post provides the pause that refreshes. Buy my own measure.... it was certainly the right thing to do as the usual market drop occurred with startling accuracy, and as usual the mainstream cooked up a complicated scenario that would be their epitaph in hind site, for a happening that would have taken place without any speculation on their part. Talking heads.

Scanning for stocks ends up with a list that can be tedious to transfer to StockCharts for chart analysis.

So I went looking for a copy paste app.

I use XP PRO and quite often block image a backup after cleaning up the HD.

Block imaging is super and the particular program I use is Shadow Protect, works fast backing up (30 min) and thus far allows me to restore my computer from an image on an external USB.2 connected HD in about 25 min. It uses a CD boot disk image to load up on boot.

This means I'm pretty well prepared for anything for a few days if I want to download some apps that interest me. A virus or malaware problem is not a concern.

Sock it to me. LOL! What I mean is I have tested some copy and paste apps and they're safe.

I have downloaded a few programs after googling- "copy paste applications" and selected a download site... CNET.com... a trusted site so far having downloaded lots of stuff from there with no problems. Selected a few copy & paste apps and went about downloading and using a few of them.

I had some issues with clipomatic20 (couldn't get it to work).

CNET

On the page that loads from the above link... I downloaded the top of the page download offered and 2 more from the list below on that page that states other apps downloaded by others as well.

I actually did a bit more surfing than I'm laying out here, but they all work great with some different approaches, and one I settled on was...
M8-Free 12.02

The description is a little confusing, but the download is 12.02. I have no idea what the 60 day trial is refering to, it doesn't seem to apply... a misprint perhaps.
The version only allows for 25 clips.

I just copy and paste as normal, even while the app is running.. ctl-c ctl-v if I'm not multiple copying.

When I run a screen, or scan for stocks... is where the app really finds meaning. I just make sure Free 8 is loaded, and I can copy up to 25 Stock symbols on one clip board. Highlite each symbol one at a time... just copy, and they add to the list in Free 8. Switch to the Stockcharts editing page, and load the portfolio editor.. put the flashing mouse cursor into the stock input window,and move to the Free 8, and start clicking the 25 copies and they paste into the input box slick and quick... I do have to do some editing for the right Stockcharts format, but all the info is there, and it is much easier than one at a time popping from page to page. Super time saver.
