    I need a dope-slap. A few months ago, I saw a page of links to financial data, and one of them was for someone who has been manually copying boocoo Barron's data for years.
    Yes, that's right, I never bookmarked it. :mad:
    Just spent the last hour googling for it unsuccessfully.

  3. it's the thought that counts. why barron's doesn't make it available is beyond me. I've asked 'em to, but, you know...

    Great margin link, btw.

    Are you sure it's not available in the electronic edition (which I've never seen)?

    If all else fails, I suppose I could pay a drone to run this large stack of old issues through a scanner and OCR.

  5. You can't get anywhere on the electronic edition unless you're a subscriber. I emailed them and never got a response. I might have subscribed were it available (for easy access to a larger historical sample).

    I prefer to enter it by hand though.

    Chas and Nusrat,

    I used to get the electronic version with WSJ and Barrons and found it to be a little unwieldy, now everyone knows Im not the most skilled, but it was almost like looking at the paper online. By that I mean if you wanted New Highs, you went day by day rather than a straight list for 2001, so not much download capability.

    Nusrat, I checked out that site, pretty interesting on the margin debt, thanks again.

    Actually, that may be good news. If the Market Lab pages are online in any kind of image format, then they can be OCR'd. Text-format would be better, but not essential.

    Trdrmac -- I'm willing to subscribe to the electronic edition *if* it contains all the data from the hardcopy edition.
    How much can you recall about which data (if any) is missing from the online edition?

    Nusrat,

    Sorry I meant to reply earlier and ended up going out and forgot all about you, that is just how I am.

    I will say that it is pretty comprehensive, but all I am just not sure. What I do remember, and I used to track a lot of this stuff by hand. I was looking for some New High, New Low and Volume information for some back weeks. I seem to recall that I was not able to bring up about two weeks worth of data. Now wether that was user error I can't say.

    It used to be pretty close to free if you got the paper, maybe $39 a year. And I seem to recall, I got a special when I subscribed to the WSJ, where it was free.

    If there is a list of specific information that you are looking for, I MAY still have an active password. Just PM me and if I can log on I will check for you.

    Regards
