[R-SIG-Finance] Data to start with?

Hallo Sebastian,

I bought historical EOD data from 1991 to present from this vendor:
http://eoddata.com/. With a selfmade script I parsed the downloaded
files into a mysql database that I now use for research with R. To
access the data I wrote my own getSymbols function, based on the one
in quantmod.

As far as I know it doesn't have Xetra data. Stocks data are adjusted
for splits but not for dividends.

Look at the site for prices.

Viel Glück,
Andreas
