RE: mvp: Historical Data from masterdata.com

Steve,

I am sure you will do this, but make sure you check the data from this source. I went there to take a look at their monthly adv/dec data for the NDX, and found it to be incomplete. According to their data, the NDX only has 100 stock components since 7/20/05. Going back from there, there are fewer and fewer stock in the NDX. They may have generated historical adv/dec information from the current 100 stocks back to 1/2/1990, where their data says there were only 36 stocks on the NDX.

I have daily NDX adv/dec information from the McClellan's themselves, and they have data back that far, but they say that their data in only accurate from 1/1/1996 to current. And FWIW, I trust their data.

Again, I am sure you will check this out your self. Just wanted you to know that their historical NDX adv/dec data is suspect, IMO.
