OVER 800 ARTICLES AND COUNTING! The StockCharts Answer Network (s.c.a.n.) passed another milestone last week with its 800th question getting answered. If you haven't visited it yet, s.c.a.n. is a free user-to-user question-and-answer area where you can get your questions about using StockCharts.com answered quickly by other experienced StockCharts.com users. But don't just visit s.c.a.n. when you have a problem, keeping up with the answers to questions that other people ask can be even more rewarding. Each week another couple of gems pops out of the discussions there - for instance here's one from last week about the differences between Price Channels and Keltner Channels.
