It can't hurt to just ask permission to use their facts. If you word it carefully, they'll probably say yes.

Farmboy, I see your point, but money isn't in the public domain - facts are. You say that you disagree, but you don't explain why. How can you copyright a fact? Sure, you could publish facts and copyright the publication, but the facts themselves still remain in the public domain.

I would cite the source - that gives the facts an air of authority.
