Follow up on yesterday’s post, making the charts even easier

After playing around a little more with Firefox and Yahoo Charts as I talked about yesterday, I found that the easiest way to keep from having to go through setting up the three tools for each stock was to copy the url of an existing chart after it was set up. Then click File - New Tab and paste the url into the address bar. Before you hit the go or Enter button, change the part of the url that has the stock symbol.

For example, if I was looking at Fastenal’s chart I would see this in the url: …#chart1:symbol=fast;…

Simply replace ‘fast’ with ‘chs’ if you want to see the Chicos chart. It would look like this: …#chart1:symbol=chs;…. Be sure not to remove any of the other punctuation from the url. After you have entered the new stock symbol, click the green Go button and it will show the new chart.
