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
