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/[1] has 60 historical charts ranging from topics like
…..A Gold to Oil Ratio Historical Chart
….tracks the ratio of the price of gold[2] per ounce over the price of oil[3] 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
…. tracks the current and historical ratio of gold prices to silver[4] prices. Historical data goes back to 1915.
And Crude Oil vs the S&P 500
….. 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 use—remember 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
