About CSI
CSI is a low cost
information vendor of summary world financial market data. Daily/data updates
on thousands of time series are supplied by modem through the Internet, your
browser, or long distance at the close of each business day or as the sun sets
around the world. Individual users can view substantial historical time series
on world markets that extend backward to the middle of the 20th century. Such
information is also available in bulk on CD-ROM. Users are attracted to CSI
because of our reputation as a vendor of pristine data with unparalleled scope,
accuracy, and longevity.
CSI's historical coverage includes all commodity
markets gathered from over 80 futures exchanges traded worldwide. More than 99%
of the markets in CSI's inventory extend from the very first day of trading.
The breadth of futures information includes, grains, currencies, world stock
indices, metals, mercantiles, financials, energy and more.
CSI also supplies daily summary data on all New
York Stock Exchange stocks, nearly all American, and NASDAQ stocks, and
virtually all 25,000 US mutual funds. U.S. government series are supplied on
CPI, PPI, unemployment, the national debt, M1, M2, M3, etc. and updated daily
as such information is released. Most security time series extend backward to
the first day of trading, and all Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are added to
the daily and historical data archives as they are launched by their
underwriters.
CSI supplies data to individual users for nominal
monthly fees beginning below $12 per month. Corporate users and data banking
firm resellers pay more depending upon scope and content. Plans and pricing for
historical and daily updates vary according to customer class or corporate
purpose. Most commercial class customers capture their data using FTP transfers
and a few actually continue to use BBS systems. Customers are kept informed of
new markets, mergers, stock splits, IPO's and a myriad of other critical
details through CSI's free monthly Technical Journal.
Unlike our competition, CSI actually discloses
every error committed in our growing inventory of data products by publishing
the corrections to such errors in our monthly Technical Journal. And when we
make a mistake every customer recieves the fix on the following daily download.
This way all CSI customers will typically experience the very same database as
all other users at all times.
