Steve,
Excellent tip, but in addition, do you or any other member of the list know
how to get hold of free data for the Paris Stock Exchange. I'm particularly
interested in Rhone-Poulenc, since I have a long term holding that I am
looking to sell in the near future. Is anybody following the CAC-40? Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Simon
