I like this piece of code. Have you considered or do you have any ideas how to use this in conjunction with matlab's datafeed toolbox to get streaming real-time quotes from google finance?

[Joe]

I don't know why my last coment didn't post correctly. Anyways,
Iintended to ask if you have looked into using matlab's datafeed
toolbox to get streaming real-time quotes from google? I have
only seen how to do it with yahoo and bloomberg, but they both
charge for real-time quotes.

Hey Joe.. dont know how to stream real-time quotes but am sure you can use excel if you are a member of thinkorswim broker.
anyways, am writing a new piece of code to get all info related to a stock such as 'estimates' , ' news', 'guidance', from aolfinance, marketwatch, streetinsider and also ''ATM options-prices'

Great tool!
Indeed, I would also like to know if you can combine this with the datafeed toolbox.
Also, it would be great if you could extend the script to get quotes of specific days/weeks.
