Working with PDF Files
Before linking to the report, here is a brief explanation for the shift to PDF. Working with ChartLists at StockCharts and PDF files is an effective and efficient manner to track and analyze an ETF group. It saves me an enormous amount of “posting” time. This is the time required to create the web page, copy/paste the text for each section and upload the chart image. With a ChartList, I simply print the charts and analysis to one PDF. This also serves as a good archive.
The charts in the PDF files are linked to a corresponding SharpChart at StockCharts. There are two ways to open the PDF file: through your browser or through an application like Adobe Acrobat. When viewing the PDF through your browser, the best way to open a chart is to right click on the image and choose open in new tab/window. When viewing the PDF through Acrobat, you can open a chart in your default browser by simply clicking on the image.
The example below is a screen shot from the PDF.
