Brazilian Equities
Ralph, I found 25 of the 30 symbols on Yahoo Finance by appending ".SA" to the end of each ticker. You can find the Yahoo exchange suffixes here: http://finance.yahoo.com/exchanges. The remaining 5 do not seem to have historical data on Yahoo, but I didn't check all of them. To get 25, I had to change the "yahoo.URL" object in quantmod::getSymbols.yahoo. You can do this via the fixInNamespace(getSymbols.yahoo,"quantmod") command. I changed it from yahoo.URL <- "http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?" to yahoo.URL <- "http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?"
