Subject:      Re: Mutual fund info

     We subscribe to two Morningstar publications; one is a monthly
entitled "Mutual Fund Performance Report" and the other is an annual,
 "Mutual Fund Sourcebook".

   The Mutual Fund Performance Report lists the following info:

1) YTD Total Return
2) 1 mo. total return
3) 3 mo. total return
4) 6 mo. total return
5) 1 yr. total return
6) 3 yr avg. total return
7) 5 yr. avg total return
8) 10 yr avg total return

In another section it ranks funds by performance objective.

In a third section, General Information the NAV is given along
with ticker name, sales load%, Expense ratio%, net assests,
dividend information, yield, alpha, beta, r-sqd, and a telephone
number.

The Mutual Fund Sourcebook takes a more historical look at the
fund, and discusses investment criteria, lists the portfolio, gives
a brief bio of the manager, and gives more operations information.


If you have more specific questions, sent me a note at jwez@maristb

Subject:      Help with Establishing Business Information Center

I'm starting a new Business Information Center in the Graduate Business
School at Tel Aviv University.  I'm hoping I can get some pointers from
those of you with more business related experience.  Although new to the
business arena, I'm not at all new to the information/on-line world
(mostly sci/tech in my former past professional life).

1.  Does a list exist of core materials, mainly reference in nature, that are
    a. of key importance to a business information center?
    b. of secondary importance?
    c. useful in keeping the business information professional up-to-date?

2.  Is there a summary available of the strengths and weaknesses of the online
    business sources, i.e. ABI/Inform, Prompt, MAID, Nexis, etc. including
    CDROM based sources?

3.  Which databases/vendors, e.g. Dialog, DataStar, Nexis, provide business
    information on the international scene, as well as the domestic US sector or
     domestic non-US sector?

4.  What sources/databases/CDROMS provide detailed market information, (market
    surveys, off-the shelf market research reports), including breakdowns
    by sectors, i.e. MAID?

5.  Does anyone have or know of a list of tips, tricks and/or techniques in
    locating market/business information?

6.  Has anyone succeeded in providing pointers/list to Internet accessible
    business sources available?  (I'm aware of the recent discussion of this
    point)

7.  Does anyone have handy a description of the NTDB and its potential
    uses in this sort of information center?

8.  Does Mead Data have an Internet address for customer service?  I've
    located meaddata.com.  I would like to find out about any special
    arrangements they may have for academic institutions?

9.  Any hints, experiences that can be shared related to budget, vision
    statements, providing a fee for service (especially university based)
    to a local business community?

Thanks in advance to all you take the time out of busy schedules in order
to share with me your expertise.

Thanks to all who provided info on Exports by SIC.  I now have a student lookin
g for the NAV of 100 no-load mutual funds at the end of each month for 5 years.
  I have tried Tradeline, which becomes expensive since we have 100 funds to ch
eck and the last day of the month is not always the 30 or 31 (sometimes a Sat.
or Sun.) We could photocopy the page from the Wall Street Journal for all these
 dates, but I hoped to find it in machine readable format so he can manipulate
the data.  Does anyone know of an online or electronic source of this info?  Yo
u may respond directly to me. Thank you in advance.

From:         "Mike Lavin, University at Buffalo" <LOLMIKE@UBVM.BITNET>
Subject:      Exports by SIC

A few more points relating to numeric classification of U.S. export
data:
1. Exports of merchandise are product specific.  The Harmonized System
   is a product-based classification.  The SIC system is industry-based, so
   is much more general than product level. Also, different industries may
   manufacture the same product--one as a product within their own industry,
   the other as a secondary product outside their primary industry.  This
   may seem pedantic, but products are not the same as industries.
   (Someone else already mentioned that SIC is a domestic system, while
   HS is international. That is the other main reason SIC is not used to
   report foreign trade data.)

 2. Trying to convert HS codes into SIC codes can be done, but it's a
    messy business with no guarantee of one-to-one correspondence.
 3. Summary data on exports by SIC can be found for many industries in
    the "U.S. Industrial Outlook."  As someone else mentioned, it is also
    reprinted from the "Outlook" (and other sources) in "Predicasts Basebook."
 4. The Census Bureau publishes summary export data by SIC in two reports.
    "Origin of Exports" (part of "Annual Survey of Manufactures") presents
    2-digit SIC summaries at state level.  The Census of Manufactures now
    publishes an Analytical Report called "Exports from Manufacturing
    Establishments." It presents 2- and 3-digit SICs for U.S. and states.
    Report is new with 1987 Census.
 5. One of my favorite foreign trade publications is the U.S. ITA's annual
    "U.S. Foreign Trade Highlights."  It reports excellent summary data at
     the 3-digit SITC level. (SITC is a United Nations classification
     which was the basis for the Harmonized System) This report is a
     wonderfully convenient source for U.S. data on direction of trade.

Dear Sirs:

        At the Department of Eco. at University of Montreal, we are
considering to order the World Bank electronic data packages: (the World
Tables, The World Debt Tables; World Development Indicators, Social
Indicators of Development and African Development Indicators). According
to the The World Bank description of the product, each disquette packages
includes the retieval system - STARS -, witch is presented as a user-
friendly software.

I guess I can't ask for a demo. disquettes form the World Bank in
order to evaluate the friendliness of the product. I do not know if
some of you tested the materials.

I would appreciate receiving some opinions about the W.B. electronic
statistics. Did you have troubles to manipulate the series or the software?
Did you cancel the susbcription to print edition?

Thanks for your kind collaboration.

Happy Holiday.

Subject:      Re: Mutual fund info

Ellie,
   I may have an answer for your mutual fund NAV question.  One of our faculty
has recommended Morningstar Mutual Funds and we now have a publication on order.
I have not seen it but according to the info I have 1,240 funds of all kinds are
covered with updates every two weeks ($395/yr).  It appears to work something
like Value Line but for mutual funds.  NAV is included in reports of a separate
publication (Morningstar Closed-End Funds) and may be included in both.  They
are located in Chicago (800-876-5005) and also publish a CD version of these
reports and updated annually ($295), quarterly ($495), or monthly ($795).
Morningstar was also recommended as the best mutual fund publication in a recent
Los Angeles Times review.
   I hope this helps.  I could let you know more when I actually see the
publication.

Subject:      Help with elusive reference request

     A patron came into the library this morning with a photocopy
of a one page article from October, 1918.  When the photocopy was
done, the original was placed on the screen at an angle, such that,
the title of the magazine was effectively cut off.  I know that
the last word of the title is "Magazine" because I can see about
a fifth of the letters.  I think that there are two words preceeding
the word "magazine" but there may be only one.

     In very small letters below the title are the words
"Registered in U.S. Patent Office" and below that, in larger
type, "WRITTEN SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT".  In handwriting is the
indication that this was published in Chicago, ILL.

      I would appreciate any ideas as to what this publication
may be, or how I might eventually figure out what the publication
is.

      Given the esoteric nature of this inquiry, please send
all mail to me, Katy Silberger, at jwez@maristb.

      Thanks for your help.

Subject:      DISCLAIMER

The concluding sentence in the preceeding message should be
corrected to read "Mr. LIBWCA is a mean mamajama and a pretzel, man.:
man."  I deeply regret any embarassment caused to Mr. LIBWCA
by my use of the term "swell fellow"; further, I agree to
forgo any legal action, criminal or civil, with regard to
physical damage which might result from this statement, including
but not limited to intestinal laceration and ritual scarification.

Why do you ask, Bruce?  May I call you Bruce?
Oh, good.  Then you won't mind answering a few questions?
You understand how your little query could generate a bit
of, shall we say, trepidation- the idea of anyone actually
wanting to peruse an archive filled entirely with toxic
bile and splenetic spillage is, after all quite improbable.
Could be you're The Man, searching for an excuse to insert
your heavy boot into the delicate space just below the nape
of our virtual neck.  It's also possible that YOU AREN'T
AT ALL WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.  After all, how much do we know
about you?  Do you customarily stride boldly up to total
strangers, look them in the eye, and say, perhaps with a
bit of a charming brogue "Hello, I'm Bruce.  My I peer
into your viscera?"
I didn't think so.
