Hi Everyone:
I found this feed, also with the code that can be hosted on this forum for those of using TP+. Here is the link to the page with the information http://blog.tc.dk/2005/01/yahoo-stock-to-rss-converter.php

There is an example of the display. Can this be hosted here?
Thanks.

Hi LawofA

Good find !!  This appears to be something like the PHP scripts that eemond & UK_Skinner made..  I haven't tried this one yet, but it seems that their site is already hosting the script, and by adding the "preferred stock symbols", we should be able to display in the TP skin !!  :D

Hi ZapMe1:
From his comments, he does not want anyone to run the script from his server. I tried, when you add your own stock symbols, you will get blocked out after a while. Here is his read:

Feel free to run the code from your own server - in fact, please do so, instead of using my server. Please add a comment and link to your server. If you make any changes to the code, please let me know and I'll add the changes to the script here. Look in the code for known problems and a to-do list.

See if it can be hosted here.
Thanks.

I see that now!  :?

We will have to leave this up to Jim and/or UK_Skinner !!  :knownot:

HI UK_Skinner:
Thanks for the reference. For some reason, it does not work. I tried checking it out in my browser, it just hangs. Any reason for this? Can you help to fix it.

Thanks.

That is odd, I just clicked (@8:42AM ET) it and it worked fine.
