Quite convenient, thanks. To save some clicking, here's how to
download a comma-separated list of IBM daily prices for all of 1991:
http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=ibm&a=1&b=1&c=91&d=12&e=31&f=91&g=d&q=q
The form fields are defined as follows:
s=Symbol
a=Start Month
b=Start Day
c=Start Year (two digits only!)
d=End Month
e=End Day
f=End Year
g=(d: Daily, w: Weekly, m: Monthly, v: Dividends)
q=(q: spreadsheet, <other>: html)
It's in a weird format, because the file is in reverse order, i.e. end
record is first and first record is last. Easily remedied with a bit
of perl or whatever.
