    I heard from a little birdie that Quanto is earth_imperator reincarnate. Again.

    And don't worry, he'll definitely be ignoring/blocking you now, because I saw that he declared (before ignoring me), that he will be blocking everyone who posts anything off-topic to the thread at hand, or something along those lines.

    My wife and I have 6 different accounts...3 at Schwab (two Roth IRAs and a trust account), 2 at Fidelity (Roth IRA and trust account), and a Roth IRA my wife has at T Rowe Price. This does not include the stocks we are looking to buy and option.

    Yahoo does a few things well...The rest is trash. Keep the good things (quotes [even if they are old]), company profile, link to company website, and Yahoo Mail. The rest, I don't bother with.

    To look through the 6 accounts would take a good half hour. At Yahoo, I can sum up what is going on in about 10 minutes (including headlines).

    PS I'm also an insomniac. I live in CA and get up as late as noon!! Many of my trades are late in the day...

    One doesn't need AI to recognize certain repeat patterns put forth in the written words of those that, while perhaps smart... lack horse sense.

    He gets a pass though because he's Chinese. That's why I'm nice. You can't assign what should be the attainment of "walking around sense" to someone that is void of any American experience outside of a one or two time visit to NYC. It just doesn't work that way.

    Does he pick stocks? Maybe I should put him on my follow list and keep track of his market prowess. I know @Earth-Imperator failed that screen big time. Maybe the second time around he can attempt to impress me.

    Yeah but you can get all of that from Fidelity or Schwab right? By logging into one account. News, company profiles, analyst reports... I mean the degree of available information is endless. It only takes a second to log in. But whatever.

  7. That site looks like a complete scam IMO. Someone has built an API on top of yahoo free data and redistributing it. That is all trivial to do with a python library and fastapi end points. You are paying 10 a month for a small script to pull free data basically and I doubt that person has some agreement with yahoo to do so.

    I guess it uses the "yfapi" with the BASIC plan (costs $0) for max. 100 API calls per day.
    Or maybe uses an own API for extracting the data from the Web pages, ie. doing data scraping, s.a. this.
