[R-sig-finance] Its function and yahoo

[BBands]

For some reason priceIts does not handle the "Adj. Close" field.

However, tseries will: get.hist.quote("ge", quote=c("Cl", "Ad"))

I recently contributed a tseires patch that also allows it to handle
daily, weekly or monthly compression: get.hist.quote("ge",
compression="w", quote=c("Cl", "Ad"))

The difference between the "Close" and the "Adj. Close*" fields is far
more than just dividends, splits are a major factor. Please note that
Yahoo! only split adjusts the "Adj. Close*" field, you'll have to back
into an adjustment for the other fields if needed.
