[EquisMetaStock Group] Re: HQuotePro data accuracy on XOM

Its getting from bad to worse..  I double checked the first two DJ30 
stocks, AA and AIG and they both show that past data from HQuote.com 
is incorrect going into my Metastock files and does not match up to 
the data from TC2005.. 

                  TC2005      HQuotePro (Metatsock)
AA  12/28/2000     34.48        31.94
AA  3/15/01        35.77        33.13
AA  6/5/02         33.40        31.59
AA  1/15/04        35.47        34.81
AA  3/24/05        30.36        30.36

AIG 12/28/2000     99.06        97.79
AIG 3/15/01        78.75        77.78
AIG 6/5/02         65.07        64.44
AIG 1/15/04        69.55        69.26
AIG 3/24/05        55.61        55.61

This means my data analysis has always been on faulty data coming 
from HQuotePro..  I am not doing any data manipulating. Its a 
straight download to Metatsock folders. I tried erasing data and re-
saving. No luck.  If this is correct, as it seems to be, I believe 
HQuote data is faulty.

Can someone else who uses HQuote for downloads do a few random checks 
on the info that I have presented? 

Thanks,
