In response, you could try going to Google Finance and lookup any stock you want and the interactive Flash chart will show news elements related to the stock and where on the time axis that those news events took place. I find it quite useful but remember that there is usually a delay before you see the investor reaction on the stock charts. -ray

Ya would be a fantastic feature, the only trouble is going back to research what news if any caused the sell off. Will consider it though moving forward, perhaps the more recent action I can include news, we’ll see. Thanks for the feedback!

Great post Blain, you are right that it doesn’t matter if the company goes bankrupt, the lessons are already there to be learned.

Another great chart Blain. Another exercise that I find helpful is to plot charts and then have major news events tied to the moves. 5 years from now when you might come back to look at the chart, it’s always good to remember what triggered an event. Was it stock specific or tied to a major market move.

Good trading,
