Talk:Treasury bill

The wikinvest chart from Rate:Treasury Bills/WikiChart was inserting an ad for TD Ameritrade. This ad is not in the source HTML code, so it's out of our control. Ad insertion is a common practice, but is not appropriate for the wiki. --LadyGeek 16:19, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Additional searches show the wikinvest charts on:
 * Vanguard Domestic Stock ETFs
 * Vanguard Bond ETFs
 * Vanguard International ETFs
 * Vanguard domestic stock ETFs development

Every chart has a TD Ameritrade ad inserted. This is disconcerting, as these ads were not present at the time of chart creation. --LadyGeek 16:28, 22 April 2012 (CDT)

Alternative: Create a Google Docs spreadsheet containing GoogleFinance historical price functions, then show the results in a chart. The spreadsheet with embedded chart can then be displayed as a single Google widget. An example is shown in Treasury bond. In place of historical data, the spreadsheet will be loading real-time data similar to Wikinvest. Would this be acceptable? I can create the files.

It would appear that one cannot create wikinvest charts using google. I guess we will have to delete the pages. --Blbarnitz 07:58, 23 April 2012 (CDT)
