Hello. I have been handed a portfolio of stocks from my mother, and I've been studying books to learn about fundamental and technical analysis.
My goal is to sell the stocks that are not so good, and buy something better instead.
If this wasn't hard enough, I seem to be able to find only very few historical data, even for stocks on the NYSE. The European stocks are pretty hopeless. In most cases I can get together the last 2-3 years's worth of information, but that's hardly enough: I'd like 10-15 years of data on sales, P/Es, ROEs, dividends, dividend yields, EPS, CFPS... and, frankly, the more the better!
Is there an authoritative website where I can find that information? Can I just request it somewhere official?
My main focus is Europe (I'm based in Italy), but I do have some US stocks, too.
As an example of my troubles, let's take a very famous stock: Disney.
I did manage to get the price of the stock since 1980, and the dividends paid for every year from yahoo! finance. but then i look at recent data on 4-traders.com, and the data doesn't match.
4-traders.com maintains that in 2014 Disney gave 0,86 $ of dividend per share, with a yield of 0,82%. Yahoo! finance gives a dividend of 1,15 $ in 2014, which results in a yield of 1,51% against the price of the stock at the beginning of the year (76,04 $ opening).
Am I doing something wrong? To be honest, it looks like different sites have different data... if that's the case for past data, how can people get their analysis together? :/ and I'm not even touching the estimates for 2015-2019..
