CSI-UA a few data puzzles (why I eagerly await UA
2.7.8)Chuck,Like you I am checking every day
to see if UA 2.7.8 is outyet - sometimes I check twice in the same day.
My understanding is that UA 2.7.7 exports both actives
andinactives. A quick "explore" of my "trading" database whichjust has
stocks that were active at some point during thelast 250 days, finds 1,608
tickers whose last date isearlier than my most recent download (Feb 26,
2004). Filter = DateNum() < 1040226;Currently the only way
to identify inactives is to do an"explore" and then put the results
into an "inactive"watchlist. UA gives every inactive stock a
ticker symbol which Iassume is based on the ticker the stock had with it
wasactive. For example, ACVA has a final date of 11/5/2003. Note
thereis no prefix or suffix - rather just ACVA - a very normallooking
ticker. Other inactives have suffixes such asABSC-L which has a final data
date of 11/10/2003. However,there are other stocks that have the "-L"
suffix that arestill active, such as ADD-L which has data up to today
(Feb26, 2004). I see lots of suffixes (-V, -T, -L, and more) and
even somecompound ones (like ADC+A-T). I do not have a clue whateach
means - I have not got around to asking CSI support. Perhaps some of
these special stocks are Preferred shares,or possibly special voting
shares (ie, shares with 1,000votes each that families sometimes use to
retain control ofa business). What is a bigger puzzle is that
2,258 tickers (of the18,000 in my 250 day "trading" database) have
datahistories of less than 10 days. And the real puzzle is that2,160
of these are "active" in that they have data for Feb26, 2004 (my most
recent download). It is fairly safe tosay that there have not been 2,190
new IPOs in the last twoweeks. So why are there over 2,000 tickers with
such shorthistories? Right now I am not worrying much about such
puzzles. Myhope is that UA 2.7.8 will resolve most if not all
ofthese.b__________________________________Do
