2008 to Present

Ok, so it’s not a mirror image of the above. Present chart looks stretched in time. This was fun, but I’m disappointed that there’s not more resemblence. How easy would it be to use the old chart as a reference for trading! :)

2008-to-present

DJIA, 1929-1930

I see vague similarities, especially at the start of the drop.

1929-1930

DJIA, 1938-1939

Wow, what a chopfest.

1938-1939

    Duc,
    it’s a bit glitchy.

    You see the date boxes in the lower right?
    You have to manually enter the dates in a numerical format in them: month/day/year

    1/31/1929, for example

    Then press Enter and check to make sure the date is correct

    You may have to re-enter it twice

    Then move on to the second box and do the same

    Maybe try a different browser, if you’ve got one?

    Or upgrade your Flash plugin. These are Flash-based charts.
