The plotOHLC function in the tseries package is useful to plot timeseries of various financial assets with open/high/low/close data. I had often wondered if it could be made to run a little faster.

Hi ALL: I am trying to use get.help.quote from library(tseries). I tried to run the example from help(get.hist.quote) but R complained. Here is the command I used and the response: ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01") trying URL

Both get.hist.quote, and its derivative priceIts, rely on download.file() to fetch financial data series from Yahoo! in .csv format. They allow for nice interactive demonstrations of what one can do with R. Unfortunately, both are currently broken as Yahoo! decided to add a somewhat useless html comment at the end of the csv 'stream', breaking the regular format of n rows with k columns.
