Crap Data.COM (JUNK as FP would say)
I am trying to determine the marketcap for companies (amongst other data).
For: IBM
Yahoo (uses Reuters for data) - Marketcap = 140.20B
NYSE (uses SunGard PowerData)- Marketcap = 140.197B (=140.20B)
both shows same exact shares outstanding
I cannot pull up shares from Reuters but Reuters shows Marketcap as $142.375b.
Why the HECK is Yahoo the same as the NYSE yet Yahoo uses the Reuters feed and they differ?
FP - Cush said Stockcharts allows you to pull up marketcap in scans. I was wondering if you could post the marketcap for RRI; MSFT and IBM for me. I want to see how close they are. SC apparently uses "SpeedFeed". Thanks.
I have emailed Reuters to aid with my issues. Seriously, if you take the close and multiply by the outstanding, you get marketcap. If all three sites end with the price of $83.69 then it means the shares are out for Reuters.
