I don't know of any other add-in in XL that does a lot for that price. Regarding importing that is truly your own issue. Learn VB to get textfiles from YHOO or another...

    The SEC Approves New Specialists' Obligations

    This proposed mkt structure would be like the way it was in the fut pits 15 yrs ago when a broker can trade for his acct AND at the same time fill an order for a customer. What a f'in joke. I thought the hybrids was bad for tape readers. This is far worse.

    The SEC Approves New Specialists' Obligations

    I think it would be a tad easier to discern momentum bec now the person who is privy to the orders can "lead:" the charge towards the direction. Problem is -you can't get in on the ride.

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    I wish I could sell my house using zillow's. I am selling it about 40K below. It clearly lags BUT it is a great realtive value tool for comparing house A vs. B in same area. I am in the process of buying a house 100K below Zillow and on the same day looked at a house 5K OVER zillow. Guess what...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    Here is my opinion on % losses. I buy a house for 300k hold on to it for 5 years, and offer it for sale at a reasonable price based on a 50yr historical RE appreciation -let say 3-5%, compounded and let's say that calculation makes house fair valued at $400k. I walk it down from 400 to 380...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    Drsteph, nice post . I must agree on most of the things you said specially about what I have been talking about- that correction can be in terms of time not price. But there a lots of people out there who can't /won't look at housing in terms of a surrogate for a CD that matures in 5 years at...

    Stop gloating over declining home prices - it hurts

    of housing crashing or bottoming out is based on anecdotal evidence and people talking their position. I've got friends talking NY RE down since they are still waiting for a Brooklyn brownstone to make a roundtirp from 300k 25 years ago to 1.5M back to 300K. Unless people start taking their...

    Housing Bubble

    I have an idea how to make the RE mkt more efficient and transparent. 1. Get rid of listing brokers or create a public awareness campaign of how sellers can save 3% in commission by listing their own house on mkt. They add so much fluff to the transaction. Sorta like the time when...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    How can you research if an area has a prepondernace of IO/ARMs? That would be a nice edge to have in case you are thinking of pulling trigger to buy now or wait 3months.

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    It would be interesting for any participants here who are either raging bulls or raging bears to preface their housing call with one simple answer to this question. What is your current situation .. 1)home with a mortgage 2)home all paid for 3) renting 4) looking to move up in housing...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    All these people trying to predict a GENERAL crash in RE market should remember that we just reached 300 M people a few weeks ago... and those are the documented ones. Compare the population in the 1980's to now and maybe you will come to the conclusion that we may NOT revert / revisit 1980's...

    OptionVue vs ToS

    Using Hoadleys addin to build a scanner is just one example of what you can do when , instead of taking the easy way out by buying a canned system, you take your time, "eat" the learning curve and buy the components. Let me give u a quick broad picture of what u can do and this is as far as I...

    OptionVue vs ToS

    An earlier poster said not to reinvent the wheel by using Excel . I use TOS in a retail account , and their pro version Thinkpipes and they are excellent platforms for option trading and risk analysis. What they won't have however are scanner which other products have on a subscription...
