RT's,
This info is partly out of date as Prophet Data does have a list of index
symbols available now. As for the stock splits I wouldn't know as I don't
trade stocks anymore.
Some one wrote to me once before that had a major beef against Prophet
Data. I have yet to find a perfect vendor and I've tried 7. With Dial Data
I spent every holiday correcting my charts and a day rarely went by that I
didn't get zeros for the day on something and DD would do nothing. So I
have my own bovine problem with them, and from what I read I’m not alone.
I have spent up to $100 per month with other vendors for data that was no
better then the data I get now for $16.00 per month. I have no affiliation
with Prophet Data other then as a customer.
Best Regards,
Brent
