Hi Ralph,
You question does not have much to do with R... BUT your question must be much more specific than that to have meaningful replies: (1) what data are you after (prices? intraday or end of day?, fundamentals?,, etc.) (2) what is your budget if any >> if unlimited buddget just get a Factset or bloomberg license (the ones I know best) and you are covered. If you are after free data, well look at quantmod & its API to yahoo finance (which does split adjustment), google finance etc., if personal use kind of budget & only looking for end of day prices (& may be some fundamentals) I had a look at eoddata.com some time ago & found it good value for money (never compared to BBG / Factset like though) and I believe they do provide corporate action info HTH, Julien Date: Wed, 5 Sep 2012 23:17:28 -0700 From: junzh...@yahoo.com To: r-sig-finance@r-project.org; rvinc...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Finance] Equities Data For US market, a good source of equity data is from CRSP of University of Chicago. The data is historical only and well cleaned. It costs about 20-30k per year. For global equity data, bloomberg and reuters are two good sources. J.

Anyone know of any good sources? R.
