DJIA, January 2002 to December 2002
2002!!!
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! 🙂
DJIA, 1929-1930
I see vague similarities, especially at the start of the drop.
DJIA, 1938-1939
Wow, what a chopfest.

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
Kat,
Ahhhh, ok, I’ll give it a try…ta!

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