Maybe I should have worded my question better. For the record, getting the stock quotes is covered - I'm using Perl library Finance::Quote. I don't need a live service feed, as this is for long term research purposes.
What I actually meant to ask was, is there a service that allows previous end-of-day quotes to be queried and retrieved? Has someone already started storing stock quotes on a db for research purposes? Thanking you for your patience.
