    What index should one use as a benchmark (if any)?

    I get your point. If you set too high a target, you could very likely end up disappointed. Yet some sort of reference level could be useful as a feedback, to tell if the overall direction is promising or not. That's the meaning of my question. I agree, finding holes in any strategy may not be...

    What index should one use as a benchmark (if any)?

    Hi everyone. Simple or silly question, your call. Suppose, as at the present moment, that SPY is up roughly 11% this year, and QQQ is up 22%. Suppose also that I'm up 15% and that I only trade/invest in Naz100 stocks. Am I over- or underperforming?

    Supplements for Joint Pain?

    Really? I was quite skeptical about that. Is it to be used once and leaved there, or placed/removed at each workout? Are there specific pattern the tape has to be applied in?

    Supplements for Joint Pain?

    >>> it takes so long to heal that if I stayed away I'd be out for weeks >>> Well, it depends on the severity of the injury. A couple years ago I got my meniscus cracked and could barely walk, let alone going to the gym. I had to stop training for like 4 months. If I had insisted in training, I...

    Supplements for Joint Pain?

    I'm a long time martialist and in my experience the best supplements for keeping your joints in good shape are, in this order: 1. Stay away from bad form movements. Unfortunately, many old-school martial art masters require you to do excercises that damage your joints. Many of my old karate...

    FT: What happens when bitcoins market cap overtakes world GDP!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_paintings Hi everyone. One thing I don't understand. If a piece of colored canvas can be worth $450M, and nobody talks about it as a bubble, why can't a bitcoin be worth some $k? I mean, the value always lies in the idea and usefulness...

    Yahoo Historical Data - Did they change the URL recently?

    This link - made up by following the StackOverflow reference posted by mokwit - returns a CSV, although apparently limited to the last 16 years: http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=MSFT&startdate=Jan+01+1990&enddate=Aug+18+2017&output=csv Didn't test it at all, I'm quite certain the...

    Yahoo Historical Data - Did they change the URL recently?

    In the end I gave up chasing Yahoo and their mess and started using Quandl API only. Their data seems to be quite stable and reliable, and it's true that they email back within 24h to any question. Also the API is very linear and easy to use. They don't offer ETFs such as SPY or QQQ in their...

    Yahoo Historical Data - Did they change the URL recently?

    I can relate to your frustration, I guess, which is the same as any of us who has been using Yahoo so far, but.. truth be told, their data was not perfect even before may. Glitches, missing samples and "null"s have always been there. Not to mention whole pieces of history that were missing if...

    Yahoo Historical Data - Did they change the URL recently?

    The bumps at the splits are clearly visible in the Close, even in recent days, so it appears to be unadjusted as of now. Maybe you are looking at data a few days ago, before the last bugfix. That is not to say things couldn't change or worsen at any time, or that Yahoo is working well, far from...
