NAME

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA - Obtain information about stocks and funds in the USA and Canada.

SYNOPSIS

     use Finance::Quote;
 
     $q = Finance::Quote->new;
 
     %info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI");

DESCRIPTION

This method provides access to financial information from a number of exhcanges in the United States and Canada. The following methods are available: 
         canada
         usa
         yahoo
         nyse
         nasdaq
         vanguard
         fidelity

These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be considered somewhat interchangable. However, the method ``yahoo'' should be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source that Yahoo tracks.

This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument ``Yahoo::USA'' to Finance::Quote->new().

Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information.

LABELS RETURNED

This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as well as the currency label. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.

BUGS

Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the United States and Canada. For example, it is possible to request a stock using the ``NYSE'' method and still obtain data even if that stock does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange.
