hello all,
   I am sure this question has been addressed already in the past even though I didn't find it while googling. The question is importing dataset directly into stata from yahoo finance site. From what I experienced, I need to load and save dataset into excel before using stata's import command to bring into stata. There is gotta be a way to import directly into stata. 
   I installed user written stockquote and tried to import. Well, it does import yahoo finance dataset nicely except that the numbers don't match. Any idea?
 
 
 
Thanx, 
Tashi
