Thanks Tim, I was only at their forum for a half an hour and I noticed a considerable amount of discussion that was about reported data errors and the timeliness, or otherwise, of the corrections. At least two reasons why I want accurate dividends (apart from the fact that you need it for accurate backtesting anyway): 1) accurate custom indexes 2) for a study on the price reaction following the exday - if the market discounts the price less than the div, after payment, is that a bullish indicator? brian_z
