Today's animal spirits is brought to you by our friends at Y-charts.

Last week, Michael and I went through a test of a new feature on Y-charts called Custom Securities.

And they walked us through this. It's great because you can upload your monthly returns,

or quarterly returns, but monthly is probably as you think daily even,

and input your own set of returns onto Y-charts. So they told us, let's say you have

historical returns for something like Enron back in the day, which no longer would be

on any research services. You could put those in and see what Enron Stock Price did back

in the 90s before it crashed. I think it crashed a little. What happened if you put $10,000

into Enron Stock, right? But for someone like us, our firm has our own tactical model that we use.

We have monthly returns for that. We could upload it and have all the tools that Y-charts has

for the research and do a look back for our monthly returns. We also have other data that we could

put in here. So it's a really cool thing. Custom Securities and Y-charts, go to Y-charts, tell them

animal spirits sent to you and get 20% off your initial subscription to the site.
