Market data feed?

[krice1974]

Hey there. I'm working getting stock/market info into a system of sorts. Can anyone help with good sources of external market data? I have the default msn money stock quotes as a source now, but it seems a little limited with what you can import as well as the qty of stocks, it seems to end my list with #170.

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

cnbc.com was used in it. I also referenced an ozgrid thread where finance.yahoo.com was used.

Hey there Kenneth, I appreciate that. That's a little bit past me yet though. I can't wait to get to that point! I'm only even just starting to hear about xml and custom web queries. I was hoping there was another way to easily link to a data provider from an excel symbol list that has more options than the msn setup.

Not sure what you need. Data > Import External Data > Web Query is easy to use.

Pretty much what's in the first post... and easy import of data, where i can bring in more than 170 records, update able from a list of stock symbols in a range.
