Gary,
QP2 MF data is *free*, insofar as QP bundles it with the stock data.
They used to charge for it, but it is apparently so bad that they just
include it now with no pretense of any value associated with it.
QP Stock data is still excellent, but that is probably due to their
data supplier rather than their own efforts. I'd have to observe that
QP Support gets worse and worse as time goes on. It appears to me that
they are doing nothing more than milking a cash cow, and have no
interest in making an effort to improve their competative position.

you'll see some disturbing spikes. The question then is how clean are
other funds who don't have such large and recurring distributions?
I'd rather not find out as I have too many productive things to do
with my time.
