Hi Mihai, You might check out the Rmetrics bundle, available on the cran website. I've used its fBasics library to download stock prices. Try the yahooImport() function and the keystats() function for downloading specific stock prices. I had to fiddle with the keystats function to get it to work properly, but I wrote to the writer of the library and it may have been fixed by now.
