May 17th 2011 Market Recap with Silver – Testing Large Charts!

Tonight I am testing out huge charts instead of the traditional size. These are about double the width and height of the norm, so you will need to click them to view the full version. Comments are open on this post. Feel free to also email me.

Are these larger charts worthwhile or a waste of time?

No commentary today, the charts speak for themselves! See you back here tomorrow.

    I prefer the smaller chart because I can see it just fine and I would rather not click. The smaller chart format allows me to quickly scroll through and stop where I want.

    agree with Lawrence, small charts look fine. It’s your commentary that are golden. As long as that is visible, do what you find is easier i guess.

    I prefer annotated charts as opposed to blog commentary. If it has to be on a larger chart, I’m quite will to click through.

    I prefer the smaller charts that I don’t have to click on to see.

    I suggest going back to the other way. Having to click to open the chart is a PITA.

    Small Charts were fine, users are free to and “+” on their browser to enlarge all things for small screens or tired eyes. Your charts were always fine on my regular settings on a w19 monitor. I recommend reverting back to prior format.

    Thank you for your feedback, looks to be that smaller charts are the way to go :)
