<b>INVESTING WEBSITES WORTH BEING KNOWING ABOUT</B>This microblog is not for a discussion of stocks – it’s for telling fellow Gummies and Gummie-esses about WEB SITES THAT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH INVESTING that you find useful.
To start with,
http://www.macrotrends.net/ has 60 historical charts ranging from topics like
โฆ..A Gold to Oil Ratio Historical Chart
โฆ.tracks the ratio of the price of gold per ounce over the price of oil per barrel. It tells you how many barrels of oil you can buy with one ounce of gold. I was surprised!
To A Gold to Silver Ratio Historical Chart
โฆ. tracks the current and historical ratio of gold prices to silver prices. Historical data goes back to 1915.
And Crude Oil vs the S&P 500
โฆ.. compares the price of crude oil versus the level of the S&P 500.

Sending large files through the interenet
https://www.transferbigfiles.com/ has a free service that is basically an on-line email client for sending large files to one or more recipients.
The free plan permits 1 user uploads of 100MB, 20 Gb storage, and 20 downloads (recipients). Uploads expire in 5 days. For $5 one gets 20 Gb size uploads, 100 Gb storage and a widget to help setting up uploads and recipients. I did not see how long a time the $5 lasts and I do not know how long the 20 downloads last. I think it would be per upload of file(s). There are more expensive plans with more features.
It took me about 4 minutes to set up a free account, upload a 300 kb pdf test file, and enter the email address of a recipient. He will receive an email with the URL link to the file. Once he downloads it, the file will disappear from the server.
It seems to me that this would be a good way to send files to a few recipients for a one time useโremember the file(s) disappear after downloading. Sites like Dropbox, and on line applications like Google Docs, would be better for widespread file distribution.
I forgot to add – I could not set up an account in Firefox – I had to use Internet Explorer.
ANALYST RATINGS
https://www.tipranks.com/ allows one to search for a list of all analysts following a stock.
The site says that “86.5% of analyst recommendations are “BUY”, they are wrong 50.2% of the time. TipRanks shows you what the best performing analysts say about your stocks.”
The data includes the name of the analyst, the firm, a star rating system, buy-hold-sell recommendation, price target, date of recommendation, and allows one to follow a particular analyst.
Other features include Analyst Consensus by Sector , Daily Recommendations (?of all analysts covered?), and Daily Corporate Insider Transactions .
GREAT SITE.!
TBF has become rather slow these days. Has anyone used this “cloudless” sharing service called Binfer? See secure cloudless file sharing
