    Which of the services in .-1 adjust their price histories for:
    
    	a) stock splits,
    	b) cash dividends, and
    	c) stock dividends.
    
    and for NASDAQ securities, which list:
    
    	d) bid price and
    	e) ask price
    
    and for all stocks which list
    
    	f) volume traded
    
    Which of the services provide a-f?  I've tried two already,
    and while the telephone order-takers would like you to belive
    otherwise to close the sale, in both cases they provided
    item (f) only.  If you don't get (a..c), the price history
    is virtually worthless, IMO.

    Jim,
    
    	I use Dial Data for my technical analysis which provide some of
    what you want.
    
    	Their service adjusts for stock splits/dividends in that history
    does change to account for the incremental shares. However, its your
    local software that has to take care of adjusting the splits since if
    you're like most people, you keep running histories of all stock
    history.
    
    	Dial Data does not keep bid-asked prices on Nasdaq securities; only
    the actual trades. It does track volumes for most stock traded (except
    those on the pink sheets) but have had a little trouble for the
    supplemental OTC list distinguishing round lots and actual volumes.
    
    	Service in $35/month for unlimited access and 2 years history;
    mutual funds are $10/month additional (commodities available as well).
    
    Bob

    A previous note referenced the Free Financial Net in New York City and
    provided an 800#.  This 800# does not work any more.  Does anyone have
    a phone number for the Free Financial Net?
