RE: [EquisMetaStock Group] Re: HQuotePro data accuracy on XOM

You'll probably find that one set of data is adjusted for cash dividends and the other is not.

 

I believe HQuote is a Yahoo downloader and Yahoo do adjust for cash dividends (which in my opinion is incorrect).

 

Our data service, Premium Data, does not adjust for cash dividends (but does for stock dividends and other capital related events - splits, bonus issues, reverse splits/consolidations etc.)

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,
