It is pretty obvious that DeepMarket upgraded to a new WordPress theme – finally! We have Colleen from Mystical Twilight to thank for developing our custom WordPress theme. If you have a need for a new theme, be sure to contact Colleen or check our her free WordPress themes. Right now you [...]

Buzzword Business Model

I don’t want to beat these guys up too much, but I blundered onto the web site for Proteom Capital and I suddenly felt like I was thrust into a Philip K. Dick short-story.  I love buzzwords – no doubt.  I sprinkle them into the posts here and other places way too often.  This is, [...]

10 Day Stock Correlation Data Added

Since there was some new interest in shorter correlation time periods, I finally got around to adding 10 day correlation data for all the stocks. A friendly reader – Jon – had asked about looking at multiple periods:
Time frames of, say, 365 days, and 250 days, are useful but more importantly perhaps, the shorter [...]

Social Bookmarking and Stocks on the Web

Social bookmarking has had a great deal of growth in the past several years, with sites like (loosely categorized as Social Bookmarking sites) StumbleUpon, del.icio.us, Digg and Furl leading the way. These services are great for exchanging, highlighthing and discovering web sites. It was only a matter of time before the same paradigm [...]

Testing the RSS Feeds

Upgrade the server to Fedora Core 5 and finally got WordPress upgraded to the latest version.  Not sure if my feeds are working correctly, so this post is not exactly user friendly or very interesting.

Multiple time period correlations

Okay, we now have three time periods covered for every stock in our database – 200 days, 100 days and 30 days. It took a little while to get things optimized so that we could re-run the calculations every days. Remember – we have well over 8000 stocks in the database, so that [...]

Goofing with correlation – Site running slowly

Please excuse the presently slow site – we are trying out some suggestions in regards to the display of correlation of stocks. Major parts of the correlation database is in the middle of being re-calculated, so many of the stocks will have blank pages for the next couple of hours. The results should [...]

Google Related Links aka Google Jumps the Shark

Google seems to have hit the wall when it comes to creative and exciting new ideas. Proof of this is the new Google Related Links from Google Labs. Their tag line is “Provide your website’s visitors with links to useful information”. Isn’t that basically the job of the website developer/writer/blogger? Just [...]

Acceptable Head and Shoulders Pattern

I made a big mistake. I was under the impression that Head and Shoulders was a “bearish” pattern, when in fact it may depend on the preceeding trend. Jon, from the Fickle Trader pointed this misunderstand (okay – let’s be honest – my ignorance):
If there is no preceding trend, then why should we [...]

Additional Information on Stock Correlations

Honestly, I didn’t think much about correlations of stock prices when I first put together the section that showed highly correlated stocks – it was more of an interesting exercise. I had a bunch of stock data and wanted to see what it looked like on the web and showing stocks that were correlated [...]
