I think I must maybe clarify. I am building web apps for portfolio
with all kinds of measures/simulation/reports. The main language to
compute is R. I need a data feed, right? I want one reliable and with
a lot of products quotations. R has already some package to retrive
data from Yahoo finance and many others{1]. But according to me, only
Bloomberg or SIX[2] are worth.
So my quest is a R package able to open connection to data vendor,
retrieve data and close connection.
All these things shall be OS independent and do not need any Bloomberg
terminal, am I wrong ?
