Anyone know where I can obtain historical stock PE data, and earnings and price data? (already checked CSI -- they don't have it).

thanks.

I looked for this a few years ago and I found three options for historical data.

1. Get a product like Value Line and export the data each day for years on end. After many years you have some data. I have been doing this for 8 years and now I have some data!

2. Pay through the nose for data from eg CRSP http://www.crsp.com/ or Global Financial Data https://www.globalfinancialdata.com/index.html. I called GFD and from memory subscriptions start at $50k/year. They target the boutique investment firm on up, not retail investors.
