History

MarketSmith was formed in 2010 as the next generation of Daily Graphs Online, a stock investment research service. Daily Graphs, Incorporated was established in 1972 and sold printed book subscriptions of stock charts delivered weekly, which gained them national acclaim for their clarity and breadth of information. By 1998, Daily Graphs Online launched as a web-based stock research tool, which would eventually be relaunched as MarketSmith in 2010.
