The USDatabase includes:
The US Stock Database provides the most extensive historical coverage and an impressive set of current market coverage, including fundamentals. Our daily stock market histories begin as early as 1962 for major US securities. We offer the original trading values for each day, and enable you to adjust for splits and distributions. In addition to the stock market price and volume for each day, we also provide information on the date and amount of dividend payments, splits and distributions made by each company.
GFD combines historical information not only on the components of major indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500, but also historical information on sector indices. This information links directly to the data on individual stocks. For example, you can analyze how Oil stocks performed in the 1970s or study the behavior of the Software stocks during the 1990s. No other data vendor allows for this cross section of analysis in one source.
GFDs comprehensive research has allowed it to provide superior coverage of current and historical US Stock Markets. By combining the Cowles Indices and S&P GICS data, GFD has created continuous, chain-linked data series extending back to 1871. Similar research methodologies have unveiled an intraday data index for the Dow Jones Industrial Average going back to 1933. These unrelenting research methods are what GFD has built its reputation on and what our Client’s have come to expect.
