> What is the most efficient way of getting economic data into
Metastock?
The best site I have found for US economic data is the St. Louis Fed
database, which also has a number of interesting market price series
like various bond yields available for download in .csv format.
Check them out here: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/
One problem, however, is that some of the more interesting series
like GDP are compiled on a quarterly basis which means you will need
to do some creative spreadsheet work to get them into a monthly MS
file format.
If you want more history than the Fred database provides then the
Economagic site is also usually worth taking a look at:
