what's the best way?

I'd like to download for each stock in the S&P 500 its 5 year history; just date & adjusted close. There might also be an equally sized list of other equities.

Thanx,
Jay

I would say you should use a scanning tool like StockFetcher or AAII's
Stock Investor Pro.

Thanks, Randy.

That seems to work for the the closest month, but it does not seem to work for the months thereafter.

Does someone have a sheet to get Call and Puts for multiple Stocks for
multiple months.

It should reset everything. Unless you have IE caching web pages...

That type of retrieval is going to be very dependent on what you plan to
use the data for.

Offhand, I would just say to use the smfGetOptionQuotes() function as
needed.

Re: SMFLite decimal separator issue for Non-US equities

Thanks, I've checked it but the question is how to change the regional
settings automatically whenever you use SMFLite.
I tried to include a piece of VBA code that works very well in Excel
2007 but in Excel 2010, the decimal separator is kept at "." even after
Excel is closed... I have no idea why it is like this.
If anyone knows how to change the decimal and thousands separator as an
excel event (open) and get it back to normal (close), I'd really
appreciate an explanation.
Thanks

Pausing program execution to allow for SMF to fully load

Posted by: "thomas91112" thomas91112@yahoo.com   thomas91112

Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:29 pm (PDT)



Have a list of stock tickers that a VBA runs down and creates a print table of various stock related data e.g. Ticker, Open, High, Low, etc. Find that the VBA is moving faster than SMF and am getting incorrect data in the print table about 15% of the time. If I go through manually and not utilize the VBA everything is fine. Another reason I think the VBA is moving too fast is when the last entry is done, notice that the pricing data for the last item is still refreshing for a few more seconds.

Is there any way for the VBA to wait or be forced to wait until SMF is done updating each time before moving ahead? Tried using SLEEP but I understand that suspends Excel functioning which is what I don't want because once the updated data posts, want Excel to automatically recalculate the fields.

Thanks
Mike

MSN elements not working anymore

Posted by: "MikeM" mikemcq802@yahoo.com   mikemcq802

It seems MSN may have reconfigured their site. The element numbers 25 and 46 are not working for any ticker (the only two I tried). If I type the url from the smf-elements-txt file it shows a web page for creating a report but you must select the items you want.

This is the version I am using:
Stock Market Functions add-in, Version 2.1.2012.02.17

This is a sample retrieval that is not working (gets "error").
=RCHGetElementNumber("VFC",25,,)

Here's the url from the elements file:
http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/research/sreport.asp?CR=1&AF=1&IH=1&AIE=1&AIR=1&FRH=1&FRK=1&ISA=1&ISQ=1&BSA=1&BSQ=1&CFA=1&CFQ=1&TYS=1&ITT=1&ITP=1&Type=Equity&Symbol=VFC

Interestingly, this page shows info:
http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/stock-price?Symbol=vfc&ocid=qbeb

I tried the beta version 2012.04.07 too but that gave same results.

Thanks for the heads up.

Doing a "Find and Replace All" on the definitions file from:

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/research/sreport.asp?

...to:

http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/stock-report?

...appears to fix most of the errors, but I still have a number of elements
still coming up error. They may have changed the content or layout of the
page for those elements, or obsoleted them altogether.

I won't release a new definitions file until more of the errors are gone.

This is the fourth time in three years that MSN has changed the URLs of
their website.

Does anyone know of a rational, logical reason WHY they do this?
