I say "finally" and that isn't quite true. I would appreciate it if anybody can provide me with the current or last tickers for the following:

Chuck,
I've read this post more than once and on more than one occasion
decided to ignore it since I have not had anything to contribute to
your query.
But I keep coming back to it because it strikes me as a curiousity.
Like you indicated, in the past I've filtered based upon price range,
(particularly on Shorts), but I've not yet found a situation where it
paid to filter on price. And now that you have enlightned me about
split-adjusted prices of the past, I've even stopped filtering
adjusted Short prices, preferring to use raw data filters instead.
If it doesn't compromise your fiduciary responsibilities, could you
elaborate on the significance of price filtering in your backtested
trading systems?
Just curious.
Regards,
Phsst

as me, but I found the average price of the stocks in my database to
range between $15 and $21 between 1993 and 2003. Not a big range and
certainly not a straight line. FWIW, it's at the top of that range
right now. The highest since 1993 was in February, 2000. Prior to
that, there was an even higher average ($22) in 1989.
