I have had both TC2005
and QP
I would say QP has their
data base set up better as far as Sectors than TC2005 does
Both data sources though
are on the clean side
You get what you pay for
when it comes to data

While this may seem antithetical to your present practice (and desire
for "free" data), I'd suggest a subscription to either Quotes Plus or
TC2005. They will maintain your database for you with pretty clean
reliable data, keep stocks organized in industries/sectors/exchanges,
handle symbol changes, splits, etc. transparently. At about the cost of a
round trip or so, it's well worth the price versus the time, bother and
aggravation entailed in managing 3500 stocks on your own. To my way of
thinking, that's hardly free. Now if you were only worried about tracking
say 100 or so, then perhaps it wouldn't be such a chore.
Or you could try the free trials from one of these, use their
organization on your data base and then be done with them. I'd think that
once you started using one of them, you'd appreciate the time and effort it
saves you and subscribe. FWIW, I have subscriptions to both, get nothing
from suggesting them to you (unless you want to mention my name to QP,
then I might get a free month), but have relied on both for years (each has
their good and bad aspects, if you look back at posts from last Fall, Dan Clark
had a very good summary of them).

Subject: [amibroker] Need
to fix Database - recommendations wanted
Hello,
I have about 3500 US
symbols in my AB Yahoo EOD database. I wish to
continue to use Yahoo EOD but my tickers are not all classified by
sector and industry.
Can anyone recommend a way to accomplish this? Is there an up to date
file I could download (I don't mind if it's 8,000 + stocks).
Thanks in advance.
