NIRVANA of data!!! for $50.00 ... you are all very very welcome

[DcifrThs]

i finally found a way to get all the data i want and am now building a beautiful updatable excel file that is mad easy (i.e. even i can do it)...

go to www.economagic.com and sign up for $50.00

then go to the "Excel" menu item.

then go to "more" in the first sentence.

right click the thing that ssays "right click to download macro"

save it to wherever you want and open it up (it is an actual excel file that saves the macro just to that excel file and won't open in every new sheet you make). i.e. if you want to make many workbooks, just save it a bunch of different times.

the file is very self explanatory and you have a choice of literally tens of thousands of data series.

absolutely amazing for just 50bucks a year.

well finance data obviously...just click the link and you'll see a list of data series.

the macro they provide is the sickest thing ever though. really awesome. just click the link and you'll see some of the data available.

also, for free, you can get all the data you want, but you can't get it to automatically update.

well mostly it is for the project i'm doing now and the goal of not having to build this spreadsheet again.

one thing i know i want to do is look at interest rate/yield curve bets off of updating daily data (the libor rates are all there for USD and the major other currencies and the US data for all constant maturity notes are there)

additionally, summing up what is going on in the US economy becomes much easier if i can create a few pages w/ most of the data and updatable charts.

thats pretty much it though,
