Many data vendors offer EOD data going back 15-20 yrs. Can anyone recommend a source for EOD securities data going back much longer (1950~), ideally split-adjusted and (most important) including delisted stocks?
Yahoo offers data going back as far as there is for a given security. Also, on Download.com, there is an app that will do all this for you, and its free to boot!
that's very helpful, thanks. It seems Yahoo does not show delisted securities though, so it's a first step. Eventually, I'm looking for a data source that includes delisted securities as well, in order to avoid survivorship bias.
