Fundamental data can be automatically downloaded for all U.S. stocks
for free using AmiQuote. New Information window allows you to view
these items, while new AFL function: GetFnData allows to access
fundamentals programmatically.

Symbol->Information menu. This will open Information window with
several fundamenta data fields as shown in the picture below (if you
created new database, it probably will not have these data present
initially and you would need to download them)

these are files actually used by AmiQuote to implement automatic
import of fundamental data downloaded from Yahoo.
