OK, I see what you mean, I should do the same thing then.
I am currently downloading data from Bloomberg machine, there is a
script that would automatically extract data from Bloomberg.
I get data for Bonds, Currencies, ETF, Futures and Mut.Funds.
Now the Bloomberg subscription is expiring in a couple of months and
there is no plans on renewing the subscription, so I will have to get
ready for new data source. I just need EOD data.
I don't think I would have problems getting ETF data from yahoo as
long as the ticker is supported by Yahoo.
The problem was more with stocks, since everyday there might be
possiblity of stocks getting deleted/added to AMEX,NYSE and Nasdaq.
I gues your method of extracting data would be sufficient for me, I
just need to automate the whole process.
Base on your experience, when would be the best time to run the
process, would it be early morning the next day or night time after
trading? Did you get pretty realiable data from Yahoo?
I will try this method before considering paid data provider, and see
how far I can go with yahoo.
Thanks again Jim... ;)
Gary.
