Has anyone found an ASCII or other TA compatible download site through shareware so us non daytraders can just download a limited amount of day end data on a few stocks and the indexes. Maybe even a conversion software that could take historical number downloads and convert them into a suitable table for loading. I am having a hard time justifying the expense of these huge download tables just so I can watch a few stocks. If not, what is the cheaper sites out there. I have found some for $10 a month. Thanks in advance

Harry, just to add to Brazilian story, Brazil's infrastructure business has been a disappointment for both MOT and to a lesser degree LU(since they do TDMA) after having spent ~$100M by opening mfring plants down there. PCS growth is spectacular in Brazil but the problem is that Telebras is letting its 26 subsidiaries make their own decisions about how to upgrade from AMPS to PCS and most so far have chosen TDMA. MOT lost many contracts to ERICY & NT and is now using its factory to fill orders for Argentina and Venezuela. ERICY & NT don't build infrastructure down there but are planning on it due to government incentives. ERICY makes handsets in Brazil. The other problem that people in the industry quitely talk about is bribery! Looks like some contracts are not always awarded based on technical & economical issues. I guess American companies need to get with the program and grease the skids the old fashion way!!! Clint
