To track the performance of my shares I would like some data from the last two years:

1.) the level of the ASX index at various dates over the last two years when I bought various shares.
2.) the dividend yield and p/e ratio figures for various stocks on the ASX at the date I bought the shares over the last two years.

Can anyone suggest where I might be able to find this info?

Thanks for your help.

Index levels will be fairly easy, yahoo finance will have the data:

All Ords Price History here

S&P ASX 200 here

Not sure about the p/e and dividend ratios, perhaps try ASX.com.au?

Cheers

Thanks for the link to yahoo. It gives me exactly the information I am after.

Without looking at hard copies of a newspaper I think I am going to struggle to get the P/E and div. yield info. I am after.

Just need to find the last report (half year or annual report) prior to your date.

That should have the EPS which you can use to work out the P/E
The report should also indicate the dividend which with price will give you the dividend yield
