Toledo Blade moves stock listings to web

The Toledo Blade said in its Saturday newspaper that it was moving its stock and mutual fund listings to its web site.

The paper stated, “Many newspapers nationally already have made the change, in part because it has become more common for people to get stock and mutual fund information through the Internet.

“Instead, the paper will publish a short list of Stocks of Local Interest each day and on Sunday in the Business section.

“The Sunday table includes interest rates, foreign currencies, and commodities, as well as some stock market information.

“Readers wanting to check on any stocks or mutual funds each day can find them on the paper’s Web site, at toledoblade.com/business.”

:evil:I subscribed to The Blade mainly to get the complete stock listings. I can't look them up on your web site and post to my spreadsheets that are in the same computer. Reconsider your poor dicision and start listing the stocks and mutual funds again.
