Dave,
What database are you using (other than TC2005)? If it is USStocks
database that is available from AmiBroker it is certainly relevant.
But, Yahoo revised their industry groups over a year ago and a revised
version was posted on this board under the Hemscott name. With this
database the industry groups match Yahoo's current ones.
I've also used the TC2000 database and find it excellent. Only
problem is it has over 10,000 stocks that includes low volume stocks
and penny stocks. My database is confined to stocks with over 100,000
volume and prices above $2.00 ? about 3580 stocks in total. In using
the EODData you download each market (nyse,amex,nasdq) and merge into
one file and give it a name i.e. "StockData_20060627". Then go to the
"Import Wizard" under the dropdown under Files. Wizard will walk you
through the procedure. Just make sure you data profile matches
Wizards and make sure to UnCheck "automatically add new symbols". If
you don't uncheck this you will end up with every stock on the EOD
database. With the EOD data I don't get the indices data as it is set
up in Yahoo format so download it through AmiQuote. Also you may find
that EOD may occasionally miss a stock so you can use Yahoo to
download it. Once you have your database downloaded do a scan or
exploration to make sure all stocks has been update. If some haven't
chances they have merged or been delisted. You can find out status
through Yahoo and delete accordingly. On splits I keep a calendar of
Split available through Yahoo and adjust them accordingly. The other
alternative would be to reload the entire database through Yahoo as
they automatically update for splits. Hope this answers your most
pertinent questions.
