Extended Information

Daily: Bid or Low Price is the lowest trading price during the day or the closing bid price on days when the closing price is not available. The field is set to zero if no Bid or Low Price is available.

Daily trading prices for the NASDAQ National Market securities were first reported November 1, 1982. Daily trading prices for The NASDAQ SmallCap Market were first reported June 15, 1992. Therefore, Bid or Low Price for NASDAQ securities is always a bid before these dates.

Monthly: Monthly files contain the lowest daily Price or Bid/Ask Average during the month. Closing price values are positive, bid/ask averages negative. The negative sign is a symbol used to differentiate between price and bid/ask average. The bid/ask average does not have a negative value, and the sign is ignored for ranking. The field is set to zero when no ask or bid/ask average is available.
