Given the various places to dig up data on companies, does anyone have a suggestion on where would I might find a comprehensive list of companies that had an IPO, SPO, Merger/Takeover, and or share repurchase since 1998? I would also need a few data points in Excel format on the actual transactions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
For IPO information you might want to try http://biz.yahoo.com/ipo/comp_a.html and the links associated with that site.
