hi i’m building a little app to return the stock prices for companies  
using their company codes, e.g. Google Corp =\> GOOG

All going good, but the major problem stopping me is getting a list of  
all possible company stock codes?

at the moment i’ve just got MSFT (microsoft) and APPL (Apple Corp) +  
Google.

Anyone know where to get some more?

nice, thanks for those, will see what i can cobble together.

actually found a load on Yahoo’s site but they weren’t that easy to  
scrape off their website, these may be a little easier.

appreciated and have a great weekend,

John.
