Before the format was changed, I used Yahoo - Finance [most actives] daily - and found it most helpful. When I attempt to get the same information now, I get nothing. WHY ?

It works ok for me. Are you using a saved link under favorites? Perhaps they changed the link.

There are far too many details missing from your question to give a good answer.  You don't indicate if you are talking daily, weekly, monthly, or intraday price/volume data.  If so, why not just download the historical data itself rather than keeping your own history?  Or whether you are possibly referring to fundamental data.  The answers can depend a lot on just what you are doing with the data.\n\nI'd suggest a visit to some Yahoo groups that deal with retrieving data from the Internet for use in EXCEL:\n\nhttp://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/xltraders/\nhttp://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/smf_addin/\n\nWithin the context of a discussion thread, where details like the above can be exchanged, you may get a better answer.  Also, the files areas of the two groups contain a number of tools and examples of getting financial data off the web.\n\nBTW -- the second group is one of mine.

Mine has been running a little slow lately for some reason on Yahoo. Maybe they are doing up dates or something. Just not sure.

You could try using the Reuters stock screener at:\n\nhttp://www.investor.reuters.com/nscreen/builder.asp\n\nThe "Exchange" variable allows you to select data for only "OTCBB" stocks.  When the results are displayed, you can add an industry description to them.  And those results, along with many additional data fields, can be exported to EXCEL for further manipulation.

I don't believe it means Not Active. Everyone in my league has the NA's after most of their players. It must be some new functionality being added or just a glitch from Yahoo.\n\nI'll bet Yahoo let's us know within the next 24 hours!

Barrons publishes a great article on the online brokers every year.  This years was from March 6th.  That's one source.  \n\nUnfortunately, I don't recall seeing too much else other than what I've seen in the news.  \n\nHope that helps some.

I don't trust Yahoo on most things. Try Trend Micro's House Call (free)

I would not even bother with something like this.\nBut if you really want, goto yahoo finance and use their java based stock screener.

This is much harder to do than it may seem.  The chief problem may be that you are keying on the earnings reporting date, not the quarter ending date.  \n\nThus, if a company reports great results for the quarter 1/06-3/06, but they report their earnings on 4/15/06, you want to see what happened to the stock beginning 4/15 going forward (and you may or may not be interested in the activity on 4/15 itself depending on whether they reported before the market opened, or after it closed).  To do this analysis precisely and automatically with some sort of screening software may not be possible because the earnings reporting dates vary.\n\nBest way I can think of to do this is go to \n\nwww.earnings.com\n\nNot all companies info will be given here, but for a whole lot of companies you can get the history of conference calls for a company, what they reported as earnings, and how this reported number compares to their guidance if they gave any.  Based on the time of day for the conference call you can also make a good guess as to whether the company reported earnings before the market opened or after the market closed.  From there you have to just look for companies that consistently beat quidance and had increasing earnings and check them out.\n\nAlso, though you are not asking for my advice, let me throw it in anyhow (you can ignore it if you want).  It sounds like you are trying to get a system for buying certain companies before earnings hoping for either a pop in price after earnings or a slow progression upwards until the next earnings date.  I think you may be onto something, but I doubt you will find an easy little system to follow.  Each company behaves differently (some always beat earnings, some usually hit earnings, some are erratic) but the companies behavior is well known by the people who track the stock and probably built into the price before earnings.  Thus, you are trying to estimate what actual earnings will be compared not to what past earings have been, nor compared to the companies own guidance but rather compared to the markets consensus of what the earnings should be and who knows what that number is.  Also, more important than the companies earnings might be their forward guidance and this may drive the price alot more than the actual earnings.\n\nTo give an example for that last sentence, supposed a company consistently beats earnings by varying amounts, and is growing at 20-30% per year.  They guide their earnings 10% above last years number, but since they always beat the market may decide they are just being cautious and based on how their industry has been chugging along the market prices the stock as if earnings will come in 30% above last year.  Earnings come in and are 20% above last year.  On the day they report earnings, the company shows 20% growth, and is still 10% above quidance but will nonetheless probably have a really bad day because the actual earnings are 10% below what the market was expecting.\n\nTo give another example suppose a company is growing 20%, is expected to earn 20% more than last year, hits the number perfectly, but then guides lower for next quarter.  Watch out below, the earnings in this case is meaningless.\n\nI guess what I'm saying is there are alot of details to consider and if you get it right 2/3rd of the time you may end up a millionaire in spite of having some really bad days.  Anyhow, www.earnings.com may be the place to look for this data, and best luck with your analysis.
