[R] Download stock prices

[Matthew Keller]

Hi Mihai,

You might check out the Rmetrics bundle, available on the cran
website. I've used its fBasics library to download stock prices. Try
the yahooImport() function and the keystats() function for downloading
specific stock prices. I had to fiddle with the keystats function to
get it to work properly, but I wrote to the writer of the library and
it may have been fixed by now.

Best of luck,

Matt
