[R-SIG-Finance] help: yahoo special tags

[Jeff Ryan]

Hi Andy,

I don't have any knowledge on whether there are hidden tags available,
though I would suspect not.

The getQuote function, along with yahooQF in quantmod interface yahoo
to get the data alluded to by gummy-stuff.  It is generally useful,
though some Yahoo functionality/return data isn't supported perfectly.
 That said most everything I have tried works.

library(quantmod)
?getQuote

and yahooQF()

HTH,
Jeff
