[R-SIG-Finance] using getSymbols() with variable symbols

[Robert Iquiapaza]

This works (use auto.assign=FALSE in getSymbols)

Robert

require(quantmod)
symbol.list <- c("LSCC","LSI","LSTR","LTBR","LTON","LTRE","LTRX","LTXC")
 for(i in 1:8){#i=1
      symbol <- getSymbols(symbol.list[i],auto.assign=FALSE)
      ticker <- last(symbol,'12 months')
      barChart(ticker)
}
