369.0. "S&P Stock Guide" by TPSYS::SHAH (Amitabh Shah - Just say NO to decaf.) Fri Jan 29 1993 19:30

	I have an extra copy of the S&P Stock Guide, up-to-date as of
	12/31/92. It's a very useful guide to look up basic information
	about a company. 

	If you would like it, send me mail at santur::shah.

    The Guide has been spoken for. 
369.2VMSDEV::HALLYBFish have no concept of fire.Mon Feb 01 1993 12:183
    I'd appreciate knowing if anyone knows of ways to get single copies of
    the aforementioned guide.  I just need one every year or two, but S&P
    only wants to sell subscriptions.
369.3open an account - doesn't cost anything!SCHOOL::DESAIMon Feb 01 1993 12:302
    I get it thru my broker (Waterhouse Securities) twice a year. They also
    send you one when you open an account with them.
369.4Yes, WaterhouseTPSYS::SHAHAmitabh Shah - Just say NO to decaf.Mon Feb 01 1993 13:2412
	I also got mine thru' Waterhouse; I have 2 accounts there. 
	With Waterhouse, you can also request S&P reports of individual
	companies - you get more detailed information than that in the guide.

	Re. .3 - account not costing anything - when I had opened my accounts
	with them, I had to pay a $35 fee. But, with the account, they sent
	me a coupon for a free trade, worth $35. So, unless this has changed, 
	you do pay for the account, if the only reason you open an account
	with them is to get the guide and the reports. 

	[Overall, my experience with Waterhouse has been very positive. I
	recommend them highly for one's brokerage needs.]

You don't have to pay $35 if you don't want to.  You can receive the s&p book
after you make your first trade (the min commision is $35).

If you have a full-service broker, try asking for a copy.
369.7Watch the Boston Globe for year end editionKA1GFN::HORTONKen Horton, KA1GFNMon Feb 01 1993 15:467
  Also, around this time every year the Boston Globe puts out the year end
edition for $6 or so. I have not seen it for this year but should be any time
now.

I think we are talking about the same thing.

369.14S&P 500 returns for past 12 yearsHYEND::T_HOLLANDDV8!Sun Apr 04 1993 00:1611
    Hi !
    
    Does anyone have a source or listing of the S&P 500 avg yearly 
    return (by year) for say 1980-1992?  I am interested in getting this data 
    as I am in the midst of some MF research and want this data for some 
    comparison purposes.
    
    Any help would be appreciated.
    
    thanks,
            Tim
369.15From MorningstarBRANDX::SULLIVANbrake for moose. it could save your life.Mon Apr 05 1993 14:0019
btw. The morningstar fund reports compare each stock fund's total return 
relative to the s+p 500. I got these numbers by adding the deltas to the total
return of the vanguard index 500 fund (except for 1992).

1980	32.22
1981	 5.33
1982	21.46
1983	22.46
1984	 6.29
1985	31.64
1986	18.63
1987	 5.22
1988	16.51
1989	31.67
1990	-3.00
1991	30.4
1992	 7.62

    re .15
    
    Thanks for the info - this helps alot.  I read this to be a total return
    based on what you say in your memo.
    
    Cheers,
         Tim
