[R] Download multiple stock quotes in a loop

[Owe Jessen]

Hi all,

this should be a simple question, but I haven't been able to do it 
right. I am trying to download multiple stock quotes in a loop, so that 
every timeseries is safed with the symbol of the stock. Can anybody help 
me out? Here's the code:

require(tseries)
startd <- "2000-06-01"
stocks <- c("bmw.de", "vow.de", "dte.de")
for(stock in stocks)
stock <- as.timeSeries(get.hist.quote(instrument=stock, start=startd, 
quote="Close", compress="d"))
}

Thanks in advance,
Owe
