Re: Telescan, a new level of incompetence

Bill and All:
I was the first to start the thread a few weeks back on this Telescan
crap, remember? I started using Reuters today! Great, now I start
deleting the old bad data and downloading clean data! I had the crappy
Friday download problem too... but now that's all behind me. I hope
Telescan doesn't screw up and continue to bill my card, otherwise it's
good bye to them.

I do have one problem now and that's coming up with 2 symbols: 1 for the
arms or trin index and 1 for a symbol with both advances and declines
for the NYSE to do the McClellen stuff. Anybody that uses these with
Reuters data please let me know what symbols you're using.

Good luck to all with the data blues.

Best... John
