Hi Tomasz,

I know, there have been severeal threads on the subject of importing 
fundamental data into AB. Haven't found a convenient solution yet.

Now I came across another software ( Personal Stockmonitor Gold ) 
which has no TA capabilities and poor charting, but is mainly 
intended to monitor your holdings and download delayed and historical 
data for US stocks from Yahoo and other quote-servers around the 
globe.

After having tested this software, I found out, that with downloading 
historical data from Yahoo, this program seem to retrieve also some 
fundamental data per stock : Earnings per share, Dividend.

It seems, it re-calculates from these values, together with most 
recent stockquotes, P/E ratio, dividend yield and Marketcap because 
the latter values change every time when you download fresh intraday 
data.

Since the data comes from Yahoo server, the question lies at hand, 
whether this would also be possible within AB , since AB uses the 
same quote source ( end of day download ).

I know, the original Yahoo historic csv files do not contain EPS and 
Dividend figures, but somehow, this program must manage it to 
retrieve them from Yahoo site.

PSM provides DDE link capabilities - maybe it's possible to link the 
quote-retrieval with AB and have the fundamantals imported 
automatically.

I know - sounds maybe a bit strange but anyway : Any ideas ?
