The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm in U.S.: I see under charts/historicaldata that the 'download' button has a 'locked' symbol and hitting it produces info on their tiered plans.
I tried the free plan and the download is still locked.

The jasonstrimpel page seems to be a python interface, perhaps that why it may still be working.

Frankly, if I was going to pay, there are other sites that I have much more confidence in.
Lest one be tempted to pay for a Yahoo tiered plan, in the past their data has been quite buggy. I don't have a summary of examples, but saw enough to make a mental note of it.

tiingo.com: Stock Market Tools | Tiingo has a $30/month or $300/year plan.
Price history of 30 years, fundamental data for 15 years.
According to their documentation, they pay significant attention to providing clean data.
I tried it some years ago when there was more data available under their free plan and thought that it was good data.
