CSIData is excellent for the EOD price data, but they do not sell historic financials. There's a screening tool in open beta testing at emphasisdata.com; that includes past financials for all US stocks, including the delisted issues, back about fifteen years. That might help you out.

Depends on what data you need -- EOD, tick data? Financials?

S&P Compustat would be most comprehensive and also the most expensive; I believe a license goes for about $150K these days. You can get quarterly data back to 1962 and annual back to at least 1950; they also offer a "point in time" product that contains 30 years of snapshots of financials as...

If you only care about delisted S&P 100 components up to 6-7 years back, that doesn't sound like terribly many companies. Do you have a list of the companies for which you need data?

Originally, this was a blank check company, i.e. a company with a boatload of cash and no operations of its own, looking to acquire or invest in some other public or private company with operations. A couple months ago they acquired an interest in a couple Indian securities firms (SMC Global...

Sky, What, in particular, are you looking for? If the answer is "20+ years of survivor bias free, point in time, backfill bias free, lookahead bias free data with complete financial statement variables and analysts' forward estimates to boot", then forget about getting it for cheap. In fact...

There are lots of companies with cash greater than their debt, or even greater than all their liabilities: I count about 2,000 currently. If you get yourself a screener, you should be able to find some with whatever other characteristics you like. As some extreme examples, here are a few...

ADVFN.com has pretty good fundamental data, and it's free. For most U.S. stocks, you should be able to get quarterly or annual EPS/revenue numbers back to 1993 or the IPO date, whichever's later. (Note that the EPS and other per-share numbers are adjusted for splits.) For example...

I suppose you want this information to compile a list of delisted/dropped stocks? There's a long list of delisted US stocks here, from the NASDAQ, NYSE and AMEX markets: http://www.codehappy.net/charts/delisted_stocks.txt If you're interested in delisted OTCBB stocks, the OTCBB daily...

Go to "Download Security List" here: http://quotes.nasdaq.com/reference/comlookup.stm You can select NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX lists.

Please explain the momentum effect to me, then. Or long-term memory in stock returns. Or, any autocorrelation in stock returns. It's there, it's highly statistically significant, and it isn't going to go away no matter how much EMH True Believers wish it would. Investors are irrational and...

Stocks with ticker symbols unsuitable for all but the most potty-mouthed children: Altai Resources CRCAM Alpes Provence Fanuc Limited Progeo Holding a.G. Southern Era Diamonds Telecom Italia

:) Here's a hint: not only do all 25 of these stocks share something in common, but it all happened on the same day.

:D Well, they are. And they also are (or were, anyway) all traded on one of the NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX. But they do all share one interesting property besides the obvious.

Here's a list of twenty-five stocks. What do they all have in common? 1. Agnico-Eagle Mines 2. Alta Gold Company 3. Amcol International 4. Anglo American plc 5. ASA Bermuda 6. Basic Petrol International Ltd. 7. Benguet Corporation 8. Blyvooruitzicht Gold ADR 9. Buffelsfontein Gold...

New York market holidays falling on a Monday, from 1983: http://www.codehappy.net/charts/monday_holidays.txt

All you need to read on that site, from the page http://www.timingcube.com/results/ The real trades that they made this year are here: http://www.timingcube.com/app/html?page=trades As you can see, they had such a terrible summer this year they decided to scrap the model they'd been...

Oh, and just to clarify, CSI provides end-of-day data. If you need intraday data, I think tickdata.com provides it for delisted stocks as well (I've never dealt with them, so double check with them that they have what you need before you buy anything, of course.) If you want better data than...

If you need data for delisted US, Canadian or UK stocks, CSIData carries it, although they aren't entirely comprehensive. For example, back in the old days, to save space they reused ids for some delisted stocks in their database, causing the old data to get discarded. They also didn't carry the...

Do you mean that you're looking for stocks with a high correlation (r-squared score) with QQQQ but higher beta? QLD would be an obvious choice (it basically just uses double leverage to give twice the return up or down as QQQQ.) You can get higher beta if you want by picking individual micro-cap...
