Hi Bob, thanks for jumping in.
Let me find the bottom line re. SI Pro:
"Each new CD is a snapshot of the updated database with current
values for those fields. While it does offer multiple quarters and
years for sales, earnings, etc., you don't get a continuous history
of those items."
Looking at their field list, take
EPS Q1-8
This really comprises 8 separate, different fields (or "keys" as Joe
mentioned) on the CD:
EPS Q1
EPS Q2
..
..
EPS Q8
This is the "historical data" available per cd.
Now the only way to build a historical database, as you
describe at the conference, is by having all past CD's. Say, for a 2-
years back database I'd need about 24 CD's.
Well actually, for many items like EPS, with 24 CD's I'd have the
values 4 years back because each CD goes back up to Q8, but other
fields only have the most recent value, so I'd need 24 CD's to have 2-
years historicals of ALL fields (outside of the SI Pro program, in
its most basic form: a weekly .csv file containing historical values
of all their fundamental fields. I could achieve this by exporting
data from each CD separately to .csv files.)
If I'm correct so far, the only question that remains is: is the data
of past CD's somehow available, like for download from the site?
If I'm not correct, well, please correct me :)
Thanks much guys for your patience.
