View and add transaction to portfolios on Google Finance

View and add transactions to portfolios on Google Finance. A Google account will be required.

Description

Attached are two very simple functions demonstrating how you can view and add transactions to portfolios on Google Finance from Matlab.

Update: I can only get these functions to work on Matlab 2008b 32-bit version, the 64-bit version does not work on my PC.
