[amibroker] Re: OT: Yahoo data downloads

If any one is interested let's make the first target an easy one.
Ee could start with something simple like a script to download all of 
the a* or a-aa listings for the NYSE.

>From there we could progress to getting all of the b* listings and 
then try another market for the a*'s.

Possibly target2 could be to get sectors/inustries for all of the 
NYSE a* listings.

With that info I am sure people could work their way up the ladder.

No need for anything fancy to start.
Just get an example list and export it to a .CSV file with a script.

Any kind hearted scripters out there?

Brian.
