Rande and other IRC users: If interested, follow the instructions below to locate a financial data retrieval bot which you may find useful during and after market hours. This is the most comprehensive data bot I have come across. I'm now using it daily to gather pertinent market information quickly and easily. Step one: Open your IRC application Step two: Designate a handle (nickname) for yourself Step three: Log on to the appropriate server. Type /server irc.ais.net in the text bar at the bottom of your IRC application and hit enter. Step four: After having connected to the correct server, join the appropriate channel (chatroom). Type /join #invest and once again, hit enter. Step five: Type !help for a list of commands you can use for data retrieval. Here is a current list of the commands that are available: -stockbot- Commands available to you on #invest -stockbot- !help - What you're looking at right now -stockbot- qs symbol - Get a 20min delay quote from realtime -stockbot- sf symbol - Get market cap and share info from realtime -stockbot- ping - Get a pong replys from realtime, CaptainAx, and stockbot -stockbot- !books - Get Smokeys List of Recommended Books from stockbot -stockbot- !brokers - Get Smokeys List of Recommended Brokers from stockbot -stockbot- !chart symbol - Get some chart urls from stockbot -stockbot- !crash - Get the crash index and investment status from stockbot -stockbot- !curr - Get globex 5-min CME currency futures from stockbot -stockbot- !f - Get globex 5-min CME index futures from stockbot -stockbot- !fortune - Get a fortune from FreeBSD -stockbot- !gain - Get the largest percentage gaining stocks from stockbot -stockbot- !h - Get the latest 5 marketwatch and newsalert headlines from stockbot -stockbot- !i - Get the yahoo index quotes from stockbot -stockbot- !ipo - Get a the top 20 lines of ipo news from stockbot -stockbot- !lose - Get the largest percentage losing stocks from stockbot -stockbot- !n symbol - Get the yahoo news from stockbot -stockbot- !q symbol - Get a 20min delay quote from stockbot -stockbot- !s symbol - Get company statistics from stockbot -stockbot- !symb name - Have stockbot look up symbols (use + not ' ') -stockbot- !spot - Get precious metal quote from stockbot -stockbot- !t - Get a realtime trin quote from stobkbot -stockbot- !trin - Get a realtime trin quote from stobkbot -stockbot- !v - Get the largest volume traded stocks from stockbot -stockbot- !w - Get major world index quotes from stockbot FWIW, Dave
