Thanks for clarifying it LB. I found the same - no history for most
commodities on Yahoo data. I was wondering what ticker list do you
use? I am mainly interested in Gold and Silver as well as U$ Index. I
have not been able to find symbols which show actual price of Gold and
Silver on Yahoo. As far as offering (sharing) your data for free, I am
not sure but there are many websites which do this and they do not
charge any money especially for delayed data.

they were downloading FREE commodities and futures data off of yahoo
