Yahoo Stock Report
This is a very simple class that will fetch stock market reports from Yahoo. This could be done with a simple array but here a nice OO interface is provided.
The script itself returns an array of arrays containing various data about a given stock. The data in each array contains the following information.
- NasdaqGS: MSFT
- Last Traded
- Last Traded Date
- Last Traded Time
- Change
- Open
- Days Range High
- Days Rang Low
- Stocks Traded
