RIMM = AAPL = BIDU
Sometimes people chart things to look clever. I’ve done that. Sometimes charts are suppose to be some sort of indicator of the future, sometimes they just are impressive in their matching.
I was surfing through the Yahoo! message boards because I find the majority of writers there make me feel intelligent, though I am still a retard, they make me feel smart.
Someone asked why the AAPL chart looked different than the YHOO chart, so I thought that I would check out some charts and found that RIMM and AAPL and BIDU look strikingly similar on the 5-day and 1-year charts.
BIDU and AAPL 5-day chart
BIDU and AAPL 1-year chart
RIMM and AAPL 5-day chart
RIMM and AAPL 1-year chart
RIMM and BIDU 5-day chart
RIMM and BIDU 1-year chart
This is pretty amazing. I’m sure that there are closer matching charts and that these are percentage based charts and not dollars and cents, but the charting on these is so damn similar.
Anyone have charts that match these for a stock that traded a while ago, you know, so that I could take a gamble on future predictions?

Sup dms. First time poster, long time reader. Just kidding. Hey…is it just me or does every one of your pictures just say “I tried to steal this image but was retarded”?
Ahhhh…okay, your website is not firefox friendly. I think it may be time to fix that.
HA HA.. sorry Boogster, that’s just something that was setup in order to keep people from taking the images from another one of our sites (Retard Media). I enabled your site to steal images, as many as you would like. If you need other domains added to be able to view images externally, let me know (shoot me an email, I’m still using the same email address).
Since you were partial inspiration for this site, I’m glad that you found your way over here!
Hey man…I like the setup and the idea of the challenge. Good luck with it all. BTW…die AAPL, DIE!!!
That’s why they, whomever they are, say 3/4 of stocks follow the general market (which is actually a dumb statement because the stocks ARE the market, so, of course, most stocks ‘follow’ the market). In my opinion, when charts line up like you show, it means there is no interest in the individual stock and the resultant movement is just ‘the market’. The fundamental question is: does the buying/selling of futures/index efts/etc. have the ability to move individual stocks (ala macro pricing) or does the buying/selling of individual stocks have the ability to move the futures/index efts/etc? I don’t know the answer, but I lean more towards the former than the latter. In short, individual stocks may diverge from the market if there is interest solely in that stock, whereas the rest of the stocks follow the general macro market movement resulting in the charts you show above.
BTW: Tell Linsey NOT to add money and stop thinking in absolute dollar terms. She should be perfecting her trade and thinking in percentages or the famous “R’s” that everyone, save me, likes so much. If you focus on the dollar signs, you’ll never make it. Personally, I don’t think she has a trading plan resulting in her 50% drawdown.
Just my long 2c,
