It’s been months since I dumped Microsoft Outlook for GoogleDocs and I have to say, it’s rather nice to have all your important data online, retrievable by any computer with internet access rather than having to carry or send/receive any data.
Getting back to the point of this story is the fact that you can actually feed GoogleDocs spreadsheets stock market data simply using a syntax of code shown here:
Retrieving Current Stock Information
=GoogleFinance("symbol", "attribute")
Pulling Historical Stock Data
=GoogleFinance("symbol", "attribute", "start_date", "end_date", "interval")
Yes, this is yet another example how Google is far superior to Microsoft, especially the fact that you can link up stuff from websites.
