Michael does not have a point. I got the information from a database that culls numbers out of footnotes, etc (just like S&P databases). Michael wants to know exactly where it came from, as in the source statements. Short of paying for the database (which means you have to rely on a third party's work since the data is not annotated), the only other way to get the data is to look for it yourself. You freely admit that you don't have the time to go drudging through data, but for some insane reason, I am expected to do so to answer a question that Michael can answwer just as easily.
If he asked what the numbers were, I would be glad to offer them (eventhough it is proprietary material), but instead, he wants me to do something that he is not willing to do himself, and then call my posts spamming. I feel free to disagree.
I also understand that this is an open forum and I have no problem sharing ideas and information, but if anyone has a problem retrieving the information or data from my site, then I have a problem giving them access to it. I really don't think this is an unreasonable stance. |
