I am attempting to obtain: USA stock exchange stock prices (high, low, open, close) that are not adjusted for stock splits. The New York exchange and NASDAQ are necessary, other US exchanges would be nice. Time range: back to 1990 is necessary, back to the "beginning-of-time" would be nice. Date granularity: monthly high/low/open/close is necessary, daily would be nice. Format: the data needs to be in a format that is readily readable by computer. Eg. an ASCII CSV file that looked something like: SYMBOL, DATE, HIGH, LOW, OPEN, CLOSE IBM, 2005-11-18, 88.00, 87.17, 88.00, 87.60 The difficult aspect of this request is that the supplied prices are not adjusted for stock splits.
Request for Question Clarification by juggler-ga on 18 Nov 2005 16:03 PST Are you asking for this data for every single stock on the NYSE and NASDAQ? That sounds like a massive project. You may wish to review Google Answers' pricing guidelines. http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html However, even Google Answers' $200 maximum fee would likely be insufficient if I'm understanding your question correctly.
Clarification of Question by deantheobsessive-ga on 18 Nov 2005 17:43 PST Sorry ... I should have been clearer. I am looking for a source for this information. Of course a public domain source is desirable but a commercial source is acceptable. I infer that a commercial source should not be particular expensive as historic stock price information is widely used. I can't help thinking that there are numerous people at numerous business school that use the data I'm looking for. Perhaps the exchanges could point you to sources. I can assure you that were I attempting to obtain a heretofore not-extant ~10M record data set; I wouldn't attempt to get it from Google Answers.

Data is back to 1987, so it's just in under the wire. Let me know if it works out for you. pafalafa-ga
Clarification of Question by deantheobsessive-ga on 19 Nov 2005 09:16 PST Sorry -- close but not quite there. In insofar as I can determine this isn't exactly what I'm after. It appears that the data needs to be downloaded with one download per symbol (~4k symbols). This would require "real work", which I'm trying avoid, to get the data into the format I need. I'm looking for all the symbols in a single file/download. Per the original request: "an ASCII CSV file".
