where can you get raw data for research purposes?

  1. Hello

    Where can you download raw economic data, sentiment numbers such as II, AAII polls, Rydex fund flows and exchange data such as put/call ratios, VIX , for the past 20 years . Please help
     
  2. Bumping up the thread hoping someone knows a cheap source for the data I previously mentioned. Right now I have an urgent need for historical data on these sentiment indicators: Rydex fund flows and asset ratios and AAI polls. If I could at least get current data every week that would still be useful.
    Do you have to be a AAII member to get the poll #s? I can't find any info about the poll on their website .

    As for economic data I only know of Haver Analytics (too expensive I am sure) and economagic. What is used by the pros, research firms, hedge funds ?
