Hi Tom, I, too, have been using Netstock for about 3 years and it is dead, alas. Value Stock Selector, V4, is also dead. And Google, plus a couple of other I have checked, don't give a single day's price to work with, nor do they do multiple symbols like Yahoo did.
What I was using the direct Yahoo download for was for about 25 indexes and a few ETFs/Stocks to see if I could put together a sense of the market direction. I tried a half dozen from June of 2007 until the end of 2008 and it seemed like one could get a sense of where the market was headed a tiny bit before it headed down. But it is too painful and time consuming to do it one symbol at a time which is why I put together a long string query to capture the data and then copied and pasted the results into a spreadsheet to compare with a base price and get a CGR - Compund Growth Rate - automatically calculated. I had it set up so I just entered the current date along with the pasted data and it did all the calculations.
Oh, well.
Allen
