Downloadable Stock prices

Does anyone know of a web site that allows downloading of EOD quotes of stocks? More specifically, everyday in the Washington Post, there is a few pages of stock prices: high, low, P/E and all that. Anyone know of a way to download this information for all stocks without having to enter in the symbol for all the listed companies? I looked at the Post web site but cannot find anything there.

Hope this makes sense,
Mike

Which stocks do you want info for? Which exchange?

Yahoo Finance lets you download for free.

You really want to do ALL stocks? I have a nifty VB Script (written by a generous, talented, fellow doper) that downloads the “leaders” every day. If you can provide a little more information on what you are trying to do, we can probably whip up a script.

I use Yahoo to keep track of my portfolio in the UK. You list your holdings and purchase price and you will get almost ( delayed by 15 minutes) real-time prices for your stocks. You can also get statistical information about your investments so you can see how your stocks are performing over time. This is set up on the " My Yahoo " section.

Hi, I did data research on US markets for years, I know the data well. Is this historical or just for today? Or even the past few days? Is this for you or work? If this is for work, drop me an email, I need a consulting job! I’ve done this for years.

If for the last few days, you can look at products by eSignal.com or Google ‘daily market data’ and you’ll find a few sites. These have neat interfaces with charts, Real information and the ability to download some historical information. Finance.yahoo.com has an ‘upgraded version’ that has real-time numbers, but you do have to type in the mnemonic needed for each stock at least once.

If this is for Historical numbers…that is A LOT of information. 3 indices with Open, High, Low Close in a daily format going back 10 years will be an Excel spreadsheet 3000 Rows by 13 columns and over 400kb when saved. And you want this information for EVERY stock? Gigabytes of info. How are you going to store it, how are you going to retrieve it, what are you going to do with it, etc? If you need this type of info, go to Price Data .

Do you really need ALL stocks, or will Indices work? Like the ?
Russell Indices ? These track the underlying stocks of different size, from large corporations to small companies. There are TONS of other indices, but they are hard to locate if you don’t know what you’re looking for (or don’t have a Bloomberg terminal).

If you need any help, let me know.
