Stock and mutual fund quote page layout change?

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 10:41:06 +0000

For years I’ve been using Excel web queries to automatically import Last Close
and Last Close Date from html tables in Yahoo finance web pages that give
stock and mutual fund quote data.

Recently the layout of the stock and mutual fund quote pages has changed to
no longer provide Last Close and Last Close Date in html table format.

Was the page layout change done to facilitate use by another tool, service or
web-Service? Does Yahoo sell or plan to sell a product such as a custom dll
or web-Service to parse the new layout?

Slap it and try again.

How can I get a single stock quote on a website, like they do on corporate investor sections, without ads?

admin — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 07:51:47 +0000

I want to add a single stock quote on a website. All I see are links to free embed codes but they all show ads. I dont mind paying, but I want it looking professional. Anyone know who handles this service or an alternative? Preferably free, but pay-fee is not that much of an issue either.

Hi,

You can use strike-iron services if you want a stock quote on your site but it costs you. you can have a yahoo widget but that have ads.

You can check this site to see what are all available. http://www.programmableweb.com/apis/directory/1?sort=category

What is a good Stock Trading website for beginning traders?

I am a 20 year old sophomore in college . I want to start trading stock. What are some good websites, or books to start reading?

you might want to take a look at this new stock prediction software that came out not too long ago. It uses complex calculations to actually pedict stock price enabling traders to have an edge. Looks pretty good for what it is otherwise learning to trade can take a long time because there are so many moving parts to it.

What online stock trading website is the cheapest?

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 06:38:50 +0000

I’m trying to set up a stock-trading account. I’m looking for a website that offers trades for under $5.00 and has an initial offer of free trades. Does anyone know of any good ones? I’ve been told that Sogotrade isn’t a reputable service

Zecco is one of those online brokerages which offers free trades for those who open an account with a minimum of $25,000 or who trade fairly actively. Maintain the $25,000 balance or make 25 trades per month and you’ll get 10 free trades each month. With a lower account balance, the trades are only $4.50 per transaction. For commissions on mutual funds that are not on the no-load list, Zecco charges $10 per trade.

Where can I download free historical stock quotes, preferably NYSE and NASDAQ?

admin — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:23:41 +0000

Several sites provide 7-15 years of data at a cost of $50-100 per market. There has to be a bit torrent or file sharing site with a single CSV, Excel or raw data download for historical stock data.

yahoo finance will let you do it. go to quotes. select teh link for histprical pricing. enter in your range, download the data, then on the bottom click the link for ‘downloading to excel’

Does anyone know where Yahoo gets stock quote data from?

Both end of day and intraday. And why the two are inconsistent?

It depends upon which exchange trades the stock. See
