Use Yahoo Finance as source of stock info. Create a Stock object from stock info supplied from Yahoo. Started from Joone YahooInputSynapse but wanted to use for StockImager and Jess. Reinventing the wheel?

The YahooServer provides support for financial data input from financial markets. The synapse contacts YahooFinance services and downloads historical data for the chosen symbol and date range. Finally the data is presented to the network in reverse date order i.e oldest first.

This synapse provides the following info ..

Open as column 1

High as column 2

Low as column 3

Close as column 4.

Volume as column 5.

For the particular stock symbol.

Developer Notes :

This YahooServer uses the following format to extract stock financial information from the Yahoo Network
