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 recently posted this to the BRK board, and Jim suggested that this might be a more appropriate venue for this request. So here it is ...

I'm looking for an optimal source of historical stock data. I'd been using the free RCH Stock Market Functions interface to Yahoo Finance, but that has broken down under the challenges posed by Yahoo!, purportedly since its acquisition by Verizon. And, of course, the generous and brilliant Randy Harmelink is no longer among us.

I believe Jim suggested a relatively inexpensive provider awhile back — Pinnacle perhaps. I just came across what appears to be a comprehensive data source called Wisesheets that includes nice display facilities for both Excel and Google Sheets, and only costs $60/year. Here's a link:

If anyone here has experience with Wisesheets or other alternatives, I'd very much appreciate your sharing of your impressions.

Many thanks to all for your valuable sharing.

Tom
