Extract Data from Yahoo Finance
Deb, Sorry, you can't do that with getQuote because Yahoo does not make those data available historically. Generally, you will need to pay for historical bid/ask (tick) data. Best, -- Joshua Ulrich ?| ?FOSS Trading: www.fosstrading.com

Joshua,
Thank you very much for your response.
How can I use getQuote to download data for a stock for a certain period of
time, say, 1 October 2011 to 31 October 2011.
Once again, thank very much for the time you have given.
Regards,
Deb

Deb,
See getQuote in the quantmod package.? For example:
getQuote("SPY")
Be sure to read ?getQuote.
Best,

Michael, Thanks for your response. The link to the page is: http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm I like to download the fields (mentioned under special tags) for a period of time and for a particular stock (or for a list of stocks).
