Understood. Thanks, and I'll let you know if I find something else.
Take care,

Hi Sina:
I still use the CSV file download provided by Yahoo for my various daily
metrix. I have not found another source where I can download the values for
up to 100 stock symbols at a time, one web download request / response per
100 stocks, but have not looked at service for fee options that might be out
there from companies like Reuters, Marketwatch or others who might have some
more professional form of xml based Internet Service.
I have about 5,000 symbols in my DataBase and it takes about 30 or so
seconds to update all the metrix whenever I request current prices and
related metrix which runs in a background file using ASP and SQL Server on a
hosted IP (and on my Local Machine in test mode).
If you are looking for other information like Financials, Insider Activity
etc... it often becomes a matter of one webpage download per stock symbol
which is very slow.
If you find a good source, even a pay for service, post it up as having
only one source is nerve wracking at times.
