just wondering if anyone had a txt file of nyse and or nasdaq stocks? or even just sectors...that way I dont have to copy them out 1 by 1? lol
you can use these as a start : http://code.google.com/p/tradelink/source/browse/trunk/TradeLinkResearch/nasdaq.txt http://code.google.com/p/tradelink/source/browse/trunk/TradeLinkResearch/nyse.txt you can also access them programatically in tradelink like : Code: string [] nyse = TradeLink.Research.SymbolList.NYSE(); string [] nasdaq = TradeLink.Research.SymbolList.NASDAQ();
thats almost what i was looking for. i was hoping to get just the symbols, i dont need the company name and stuff.
A good source is: http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/newscreener.html You can select on whatever criteria you want and then download all the results by choosing "export to spreadsheet." You can then edit the resulting .csv file with a text editor or use Excel.
whatever source you use, just import it into excel as a delimited file... then you can copy/paste just the symbol column or sector column... or whatever you need.
