| 760.1 | | MKOTS3::LANGLOIS | Which bridge to burn,which to cross | Thu Aug 25 1994 10:13 | 9 |
| Hi Bob,
My wife subscribed to the WSJ Personal Business monthly magazine
(we've just started getting it and, to be honest, I'm not sure of the
exact name of the magazine but it's close to what I wrote) and in
the latest issue (SEPT '94) there's an article on the Internet and
the various sources available for investment information.

| RE:.2. Thanks. I went home that night and saw that it was Smart Money.
The banner above the title says "The WSJ magazine for personal
business" which is what I'd remembered.

On the World-Wide Web go to

| These are latest kits that I know about. There are MOSAIC executables
for UNIX, Windows, VMS, etc.
This is a fairly complicated piece of software to install, though very
easy to operate once it is up. If you're not a system manager type,
you're going to have to get some help.
There's a nice, approachable paper at:

to have disappeared. Since I brought it up, I've put the paper in the

By the way, I'm not the author of this paper, nor am I associated with

| 760.11 | Full Downloads ? | BLAKFT::HOLMES | | Tue Oct 11 1994 14:10 | 14 |

There are a number of free services on Compuserve where
you can do an online lookup by company.
Before I continue my own exploration.....
I'd like to be able to download data.
The closing prices of everything is my goal.
Rather tim intensive one stock at a time.
Then if I could download those reports listed previously,
merge it all togeather and create a report by P/E, etc.

I found note 73.*...
Anything else out there.
I'm more interested in downloading raw data (from 1 or more sources)
& writing my own application than purchasing it all.
Thanks,

For $9.95/month charged to your credit card, quote.com will let you
ftp closing prices on a dialy basis. Here's an extract from their
basic subscription blurb:
"On our ftp server, we keep files with end-of-day updates for all ticker
symbols. You may download the files for the U.S. exchanges at no
additional charge. In this way you can get updates on over 20,000
domestic symbols. They are ASCII, comma-delimited files which can be
imported into most charting programs.

I took a quick look at their web page. I wonder how big 20K
symbols worth of data is, and if they have at least some
historical data; for instance, if I go on vacation for a
week, can I get those days data.
Also, the page mentioned a site license. I wonder if there
are enough people in zk who might be interested.

Or better yet, a coporate wide license ....

I found some answers. There is lots of stuff that is
ftp'able. There seems to be daily data available for
the past 3-4 months, so missing a day or two should be
easy to make up.
They have a sample day that you can download, the zipped
data for all exchanges is about 750 blocks.
Very tempting!
Also, the site licensing doesn't look good. The pricing is
based on the number of 'potential' users within an internet
domain. Quote.com defines potential as the number of users
having e-mail access within a domain. The policy says: "the
price per user will be below $1.00 per user per month."
So, for something like zko.dec.com, the number of email users
might be 2500.

For anyone who is interested, MS-Money is being given
