    I allready got everthing after 1985 thanks to yahoo finance. However their data doesn't go back as far as I would like. If possible I would like to have this data in excell. Anyone who can help me out of can point me to a website where this could be done. I've been googling for hours now allready but nothing usefull comes up. Thanks.

    Thanks for pointing this out. I will use Nasdaq Composite in my longer term testing as a substiture/proxy for my testing. Yahoo Finance does have those data going back all the way to 1971 so I mixed the two indices up.
     

  4. You poor fellow. I have Comp from 1938. Dow Jones from 1800, Euro aka Deutsche Mark from 1930s, Gold from 1250 but I'm sworn to secrecy. :):):):):):):):):)

    Actually you have somebody's simulation of these items. Unless you know the exact provenance of the data and how they constructed it, it might look nice on a chart but it's all garbage.

    Clearly the Nasdaq Composite back to 1938 is nonsensical. There aren't any sources for OTC data going back that far!
