Respected Dr. Attaullah Shah,

I hope this email finds you in the best of health.

I am writing these lines to thank you for your compilation of data at opendoors.pk. I was skimming the internet for financial data for my advance financial management class and was pleasantly surprised to see your website. I am sure this data would also be very beneficial for my investment analysis and portfolio management class.

Best Regards,

Dear Mr. Shah,

Your endeavour to provide a consolidated database for historical stock prices is a worthwhile effort. As a compliment to your efforts I have attached a MATLAB program that can plot the KSE 100 index for any time period for the given data. So for example, to receive the output of the index for the years 2000-2005, just put the 'data.mat' and 'kse.m' files in the workspace folder and then type kse(2000,2005) and the plot will be produced. I give you my permission to share this program on your website if you wish to do so.

Regards,

Haroon.

My name is Asad and I am a student of MS Finance at Air University , Islamabad I really cant express my gratitude and well wishing to you for your generous act of making such website ... that allows researchers to use data that is all for free and all on one website ... I really wanted to do such thing ,but never had enough courage to do it ... What you have done sir , is far beyond amazing ... One small Request ..

Hello

     I would like to appreciate your work and efforts that made so easy for a researcher to get data. I am exploring your website of financial database from last one week and i found it well sequenced with lots of information. Its an appreciable work which you did and you will be rewarded for your effort in the form of Blessings. May ALLAH help you in every field and give you more power and courage for future efforts also. Thanks alot for creating this easiness and making Pakistani students a good researcher. Because alot of time problem exists at the time of collection of data but i think after this site there will be much easiness for all.

Secondly i have few years data of some macro variables of Pakistan which i will send you, and you can upload that also. I have data of Exchange rate, IPI, Exports, Unemployment, Taxes etc. I will email you all that data very soon. My main area od=f research remaines capital markets of pakistan, for a long time and i know how difficulties i faced while collecting data. After watching and exploring your website i think i dont have words for appreciation of you efforts. But i would like to say THANKS ALOT FOR A WONDERFUL JOB.

May ALLAH Bless u.

Dear Sir,

Assalam-o-Alykum:

My name is Uzma and I am doing MS ECONOMICS from International Islamic University Islamabad.

I am working on my thesis that is on "Determinants of Corporate Philanthropy: A Case of Karachi Stock Exchange". for this I was collecting data on all companies registered at KSE from long time. Today I have just found your website which has lot of data on market price of shares. and I have seen that you have collected annual reports of almost all companies. and made it publicly available for others. that's a very good contribution from your side. May Allah bless you more than your expectations and wishes.

I am really happy to see that there are some people who are not selfish and think about others. very good. Keep it up.

Regards,

Uzma Bashir Awan
