Daily price and volume. You can automatically get free price quotes
from Yahoo!'s financial site (http://finance.yahoo.com/) with some Rexx
(which Mesa 2 supports).

[Steven - you open a socket and send a "form request" to Yahoo!, and
they send back the data you requested. I used IPTrace/IPFormat to
capture the form information. Open a socket on Port 80, send and
receive, close the socket. You can capture volume at the end of the day
with a different request.]
