I am trying to extract financial statement information based on type of the statement. Let me explain to you in a little more details. I want to extract the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement from an XBRL instance – especially US GAAP.

I am using YQL to retrieve Financial Option data. Something like: select * from yahoo.finance.options where symbol="AAPL" and expiration="2011-07" However, the above query returns an optionsChain of data. Is there a way to retrieve just the record for a specific option symbol, e.g. symbol=AAPL110716C00155000 ? Thanks for your time.

Starting with the right most digit, every other digit is multiplied by two. (For

Looking for a good Money data type for .NET that supports currencies and exchange rates (with related behaviour & operations). Note: I started searching for the source code seen in print in the book Test-Driven Development By Example by author Kent Beck - he develops a nice Monetary concept. Unable to find the complete source online. The book does not contain one singular listing - instead it develops the source code over the duration of the book.

I am curious about the existence of any "rounding" standards" when it comes to the calculation of financial data. My initial thoughts are to perform rounding only when the data is being presented to the user (presentation layer). If "rounded" data is then used for further calculations, should be use the "rounded" figure or the "raw" figure? Does anyone have any advice?

When exactly rounding should be performed
