In prior posts I urged readers to visit The Wall Street Journal's Markets Data Center page (WSJMarkets.com). It provides a comprehensive yet succinct view of the markets. This information is available to both WSJ subscribers and non-subscribers.
Dave Pettit from WSJ informed me via email that Markets Data Center has become even better.
Readers now have free access to an archive of the 30 or so most popular tables, including major stock-market indicators (including U.S. and international indexes, actives, gainers, money flows, etc.) money rates, forex rates, cash-commodity prices and futures settlement prices. The archive starts with May 1 and it will continue to build over time. Details are here: http://online.wsj.com/static_html_files/whatsthis.html.
As a general practice, I do not quote emails. But in this instance, I am confident that Dave does not mind.
WSJ's Market Data Center is an excellent resource for all investors. I urge you to have a look.
