Hi All,
Here's something I recently discovered on the Yahoo site.

If you punch in a symbol, bring up some data, then select "chart" you will naturally get a chart. But then, if you scroll to the bottom of the chart there is a new feature that will show you the daily, weekly, monthly prices, or dividend for the symbol.

The price/dividend data appears to go back quite far. You can also download the historic price data to a spreadsheet format.

I ran a little test with a modified Bill Reidman(?) spreadsheet I have using the symbol MO (Phillip Morris). I started my AIM account on 12/29/69 and ended it yesterday - 10/26/98, using weekly data. I started with $10,000.00 with 25% of that in cash, buy and sell safes at 10%. After 28 years - roughly - AIM managed to turn $10,000.00 into $106,451.00. Not a bad return for a DOW stock...

Check it out...

Greg
