Financial Post - Market Data
Is it only me, or are others not able to access the Market Data section of the Financial Post? I've been trying since last night.
Re: Financial Post - Market Data
I also tried but could not see the data.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Many thanks Adrian2 and BBSJ. I'll just have to be patient and wait it out.
Re: Financial Post - Market Data
I just tried two of the many links at Market Data, and at least these two seem to be now working.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
The link I usually use isn't working. Maybe that's a good thing, since some of the information found under it was useless. For example, there was a page of forex rates that was locked at some point eons on the the past; they also had the Bank Of Canada rate wrong, but now that the BoC has raised, maybe it would be right again (like a stuck clock, and if the page was available).
Re: Financial Post - Market Data
I had to use their "site map" to find Market Data. That I can access. The old links, including the one on google, don't seem to work.IdOp wrote:The link I usually use isn't working.

Thanks Taggart, that's a good idea, but I'm having trouble with that way too:Taggart wrote:I had to use their "site map" to find Market Data. That I can access. The old links, including the one on google, don't seem to work.
If I go to http://www.financialpost.com/ and then click on Site Map, that also returns

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
It may be like you're implying, an intermittent problem. Even though it was staring me right in the face, I hadn't noticed the site map at the top of the page. I'd been using the one at the very bottom, right hand side, whether or not that makes any difference. Anyhow, I tried both site maps this morning, and they do appear to be working right now. Keep my fingers crossed for you, when you give it a try.IdOp wrote:Thanks Taggart, that's a good idea, but I'm having trouble with that way too:Taggart wrote:I had to use their "site map" to find Market Data.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
I did find Market Data but it looks like the FPX indexes Are not included
I use that to benchmark so will miss it.

You mean these ones at the top of the list? I was able to access them as well.$seeker wrote:I did find Market Data but it looks like the FPX indexes Are not included

OK , that is the spot

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Thanks for pointing that out, I had only noticed the first one. So there are two different Site Maps on the page, one is for Financial Post, and I find it does not work, and the other is for National Post and it is working.Taggart wrote:Even though it was staring me right in the face, I hadn't noticed the site map at the top of the page.

However, coming back to market data, I see there is now a link on the financialpost.com main site Market Data which goes to a loadable page which seems to contain the usual data. The URL of this link is now

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Yesterday I was using the National Post market data site to update some weekly indices etc. The pages were loading very fast; turns out they're now being served gzip'ed where applicable.
Now if only GlobeInvestor would catch onto this, we might be getting somewhere.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Once again the FP's website is a day behind. It's playing havoc with my record keeping.
BTW, anyone have the Scotia (PCBond) Long index value for 31 May? I was travelling and missed it.

It seems pages from GlobeInvestor are now compressed. Although data from investdb.theglobeandmail.com is still not.IdOp wrote:Now if only GlobeInvestor would catch onto this, we might be getting somewhere.

Re: Power of Dividend Growth 2011 (and beyond)
Whenever I could I would check the markets data section at the Financial Post for any Canadian company dividend increases for that day or on a Friday for the past week. I noticed last evening that the Financial Post seems to have changed their online format and I can no longer see any list of dividend increases there. Anyone else able to find the data in there somewhere?

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Time to bump this topic again, as there seem to have been changes at FP.
For years I've been using the Financial Post Market Data page as a convenient place for certain values, such as short-term interest rates, and also as the go-to place for FPX index values.
Now when I go to the page the old info is gone and there's a bunch of junk. First noticed this last Saturday. A web search hasn't turned up much. Google links are to stale pages too.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is the old info just gone, or somewhere else? Do you have to register and sign in to get it? Thanks for any pointers.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
For the last few months I'd been getting dividend data just by doing an internet search for "Financial Post dividends", but now that doesn't seem to work anymore. Very frustrating since that was my main data source.

Re: Financial Post - Market Data
Thanks, that's a helpful link. That page also links a CSV file with all historical values, though it only appears to be updated monthly.Shakespeare wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017 22:34 https://www.croftgroup.com/croft_benchm ... rmance.php shows FPX indexes.

ADDED: The performance graph only goes to 2017-Oct-31 also, and the end date won't accept anything later. So it seems the CSV has the same info, and I find it easier to get and use.
Re: Financial Post - Market Data
I wrote to them. They are "in process" of changing their data provider and experiencing problems. They are workingon it but there is no timetable for a resolution.
