Hi Ray, I cited the most recent TrimTabs, which can be found here - the data is a week old, but to get it more up-to-date, you need to pay TrimTabs $24K/yr:

I've double checked it against data generated and published by Nasdaq and NYSE, and it seems to be accurate.
The following URL has links to downloadable data at the Nasdaq site, it's only up-to-date as of 4/28/00, and includes total market cap - you need Excel to read it. This is daily data.
marketdata.nasdaq.com
Here is the link for the NYSE, you need to click on Data Library, and then NYSE Statistics Archive. They only give the total market cap for the NYSE for the end of the month, not daily.

I am interested in the source for your data, if you'd be so kind as to provide a URL. One mistake I think your source makes is assuming that the Nasdaq composite index is the same as its total market cap. It's not. The composite is weighted. For the year 2000, you can approximate with a multiplier of 1.3x composite = total market cap; that's about average, but the ratio of composite to total market cap really varies every day.
I would love to have a source that's up-to-date, this feels like driving backwards steering by the rearview mirror. |
