Useful ? For me it is since I've not been at this too long. You may have all the history you need but this is good to know at any rate. ---- just be careful that your looking to the right history. Some sites show history in different ways. When I first went to the stockhouse board I told of the cycling that these trusts (unit prices) have gone through year after year after year. A good many said ""what cycling?????""". They had referenced a chart (I cant recall from where). They said no cycling there. I mentioned that they could go to that trusts own web site and see that the chart from his source corresponds exactly to a chart showing of how a $100 investment had grown over the years. DEFINITELY NOT THE SAME THING. And some sites are just more reliable than others when it comes to the accuracy of the data given out. Yahoo I would not trust. Globeinvestor probably much better -------- Unfortunately no dividends but I think Yahoo is aware of that since they provide them for other issues. Dividends entered manually at any rate is not to overpowering. ----- When concerning oneself strictly with the unit price movement over time dividends dont enter into it. Remember one wants to concern himself only with the unit price so he can judge when the trading price is too high or too low. Factoring dividends into that is not a good idea. -----
