The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm not sure about other locations and systems, but for me stockcharts no longer gives a graph unless you disable your ad blocker,

One step forward, one step back for me.

Forward:
Stockcharts have fixed the bug that their prompt will never let you accept any of the choices. I have graphs again.

Back:
But the workaround at Yahoo no longer works. (selecting the classic version of the site before going looking for the "download" link.)
As others mentioned, this now gives a JSON error, no data. I didn't think it would work for long.

However, it half works.
The new version of the site also won't let you highlight the prices in the history for a copy-paste.
If you switch to the classic version, you can highlight the rows of history and the copy-paste still works.

But if (when) that workaround goes away, or you don't like it---
In the new version (for now, anyway) you can still save the web page and look at the resulting file, not so bad. This will still give you the whole history range requested, not just the portion visible on page.
