Question

How do I download Yahoo's Financial Beta Charts?

Answer 1

In my case, I have a portfolio of stocks on My Yahoo page. If I click on one of the stocks, I get a detailed quote for that stock. Just above the chart for that one stock, there is a clickable link "Try our new charts in Beta" or something like that. I click on that, and a much larger, and much more customizable chart comes up. I then click on technical indicators, and click the ones I want to see, and I click on Line Type, to see the OHLC type of chart. Once I leave, and then come back to the detailed quote, I see the word "CHARTS" on the left hand side of the detailed quote. When I click that, it brings me back to the new style of chart regardless of which of the 50 or so stocks I am looking at. I do NOT have to do this 50 times, just once.

One thing to note is that, if you clear your cache routinely, you seem to erase a cookie that Yahoo must place on your computer. Every time I clear my cache, and then go back to the finance page and try to see a chart, the BASIC CHART is in the left column, and the "try our new charts in Beta" is again above the little chart on the detailed quote screen.

I am having a problem with the beta charts. Once I look at the chart of a stock, after a few seconds, the font of the numbers will change, and when I move my cursor over the buttons at the top of my browser window, the buttons turn black, and IE begins to act up. The only way I have found to correct this is to restart IE. It is a bug of some type, and is why I came here in the first place.

Good luck.
