Thanks Thomas,
That worked good for me. I selected the tickers that I wanted from
Excel and pasted them into Notepad. Then I did the "Save as..." and
named it Sample.tls This worked for me. Now I can build what I am
after.
Yahoo worked fine for downloading large chunks of price history.
I'm after US stocks right now.
I guess there is a cleanup function which will take care of
delistings for us. We will have to manually do ticker symbol
changes, IPOs, and new listings which moved from a different stock
exchange. I guess you can avoid this labor by subscribing to TC2000
or Quotes Plus. That's not an option I'm interested in right now.
I pay for data elsewhere, and I don't want to pay for the "same"
data twice.
Jim
