This item downloads Ownership data for US stocks. The data is downloaded from the finviz website and a total of nine ownership ratios are retrieved. The fundamental ratios are stored into the following database 'fund_ownsership', which is a custom historical database.
Each time you run the downloader, a pre-script that I have created, assign a date to the downloaded data. The date is the first date of the week (Monday). This means that the item should be run once a week.
The ownership ratios are:
mktcap: The market capitalization of the company.
outstanding: The number of common shares owned by the public. It is the number of total shares minus the number of shares held in treasury.
float: The number of common shares owned by the public and available for trading
insider_own: The percentage of shares owned by the company management
insider_trans: The percentage of shares that are purchased or sold by the company management
inst_own: The percentage of shares owned by institutional investors
inst_trans: The percentage of shares that are purchased or sold by institutional investors
float_short: The number of shorted shares divided by the total shares float (percentage)
short_ratio: The short ratio or the short interest ratio, is the number of shares outstanding that are shorted (sold short), divided by the average daily volume.
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
