| How To Get Share Price As On 31 Jan 2018 |
The DeLorean Approach (Not Recommended)
Let's be honest, this is the coolest way to get your hands on 2018 share prices. Just fire up the DeLorean, stock up on 1.21 gigawatts of energy, and zoom back to January 31st. But here's a tiny snag: time travel technology, while awesome for movie plots, is still firmly in the realm of science fiction (and let's not forget the whole messing-up-the-space-time-continuum thing).
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
So, unless you've got a hidden Doc Brown and a tricked-out sports car, this method might be a tad out of reach.
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
But hey, if you DO manage to pull it off, send me a postcard from the past!
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Back to Reality: Digging Up Share Prices in the Real World
Since the DeLorean method is a no-go for most of us, here are some real solutions to unearth those 2018 share prices:
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.
-
The Wayback Machine: No, not a time machine (although that would be pretty sweet). The Wayback Machine is a handy tool that archives past versions of websites. If you know the website of the stock exchange or financial data provider you want to check, the Wayback Machine might have archived data from January 31st, 2018. It's a bit like archaeology for the internet, and who knows what treasures you might find!
-
Financial Data Providers: Websites like Alpha Vantage: https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation/ or Quandl: https://data.nasdaq.com/publishers/QDL offer historical stock price data. These services often require a subscription, but they can be a goldmine for historical financial information.
-
Reach Out to the Exchange: The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India might have historical data available on their websites. It's worth checking their resources or contacting them directly to see if they can provide the information you need.
There you have it, my time-traveling (or should I say, internet-savvy) friends! With a little effort, you can unearth those long-lost share prices from 31st January 2018. Now, you can analyze them, ponder what could have been, and maybe even use that knowledge to make smarter investment decisions in the future (but remember, past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results).
Who knows, maybe you'll become the next stock market whiz! Just don't blame me if you end up needing a bigger DeLorean for all the cash you'll be raking in.
