 I'm looking to share information that can't easily be tracked down in Telechart or Yahoo style information.
Example: what happened to MOT (Motorola)?
Answer: On 12/17/2010, new symbols MMI and MSI started trading, as Motorola prepared to split into 2 companies. However, old symbol MOT continued to trade until 1/3/2011. MSI should be considered the continuing stock. with a reverse split and dividend info available from Telechart and other sources. Some sources (Google) did not pick up the new symbols until 1/6/2011.

My first question. Bio-Rad (symbol BIO) has been around quite a while. Telechart has it going back to 1984. However, Yahoo only has historical data going back to 9/20/2010. Was there a merger, name change, symbol change, spinoff, or is Yahoo just missing the data?
