[QuantMod] Load all stock symbols
Just extend the logic you have. A full list of S&P symbols can be found via google (current and historical), and you can just create a semi-colon delimited string to pass into the function. The function will pause 1s between requests after 5 symbols in one call, so as to be kind to the Yahoo servers. Left as a user exercise if you are bent on bypassing.

Hello everybody, I was wondering how to load all the symbols at once using Quantmod. I am trying to load them, so I will be able to test a set of parameters for each one. For example, if the S&P where to have only 3 symbols, I could just write this...
getSymbols("KO;PEP;SBUX")
test(KO)
test(PEP)
test(SBUX)
but, how can I try this over all the S&P? btw, test is a made-up function to illustrate the idea. Thanks you
