Hi Bruce,
A few months back I changed supplier from DialData to Reuters Trend Data.
Don't hesitate and go with Reuters.
A partial list of the improvements I noticed was:
-MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH faster downloading time.
-adjusted splits on the day of split compared to many days of wait with Dial
Data.
-matching Us & Canadian tickers for the MS 6.5 downloader & Reuters Trend
Data.
Best regards,
Michel Dussault
Montreal, Canada
Ps: in regards to the Canadian Stocks tickers you follow, did you not
receive the MetaStock data CD-Rom that ALSO contains all Canadian historical
pricing when you upgraded to MS 6.5? The tickers used on it are the same as
the ones used with Reuters Trend Data.
