Randy, Do you or anyone else know of a reliable place to get the next
EX-Dividend Dates?

Back in message 22829 you wrote: I prefer to estimate the forward
ex-dividend date myself, because too often the dividend is declared only a
few days ahead of the ex-dividend date.

My question is how do you do that? Do you have a spreadsheet that calculates
it? Do you do it manually? Is it just a best guess?

You, also, listed several yahoo key statistic elements that contain dividend
information.

Unfortunately, there are a great many reasonable yielding dividend stocks
that Yahoo does not have in its key statistics function.

Any idea how yahoo determines which stocks they list?

Here is a short list of stocks that do not have Yahoo Key statistics:

ARCC

GMLP

PFLT

BGB

EOD

FDUS

FEI

FEZ

GBDC

PNNT

REM

SIR

TAN

TCPC

TEI

WHF

KAP

I just look at when they paid the dividend last year and use that as an
estimate. But I'm applying it to Dividend Champions, that have a
long-established record of dividends. I wouldn't necessarily apply that to
every company.

Otherwise, I get my ex-dividend dates from TDAmeritrade. I'm sure I've
given the formula on the forum before. Just do a search of the message
archives.

No clue as to Yahoo's criteria for having a Key Statistics page.

Hi,

RCH element numbers 1286 - 1512, linked to earnings.com data no longer work and return errors. I understand this is because the source website has changed. Reading the strings in yahoogroups, I'm not clear on how to update the definitions, could you please let me know how I change the links so that the data is fed from the new site.

Thanks

Larry

At this point, I don't know of any web pages that contain the data. The
replacement site someone found disappeared a few days later...

Hi Randy

Currently the RCHGetTable functions point to a url. Would it also work if I already have that page saved in my local drive and want the function to point to the local page instead?

thanks

Sure. I've done that before. Here is an example:

=RCHGetTableCell("file:///C:/Users/Randy/Documents/Temp/sctr.html",5,"?c=T,")

In this case, it had been a dynamically displayed web page. But, by saving
it to my hard drive, the dynamic data is now stored within the file.

This changed last week -

If I run this:

RCHGetTableCell("http://ca.advfn.com/p.php?pid=qkquote&symbol=ALA",4,">Cur",,,,1)

and I'm not logged in, it returns "37.24"

If I'm logged in I get:

37.24$(function() { htmlstFeedManager.on("stream", function() { set_streaming_field( "#quoteElementPiece6", "T^ALA", "CAD", DataSource.CUR_PRICE, true, 1 ); }); });

I assume they have changed the quotes to stream from static and I can just strip the price out. Or maybe I should be using a different function?

Thanks

Yes, it may be setting things up to do streaming quotes when you're logged
in...

I think you have the right function, but you'll need to parse that out if
it shows up.
