The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Although it's a bit ugly, you can scrape the yahoo historical quotes page.
Pull it up, select all the data, cut, then paste it into Excel (edit/paste/special/text).
Dividends and splits are interspersed, you can split them out by sorting on 2nd column, which pushes them to the bottom, then re-sort the price lines by date.

I have a script which grabs the yahoo data which they have internally to 8 decimal places. All the columns. Splits & dividends in separate files. Easy peasy. If you want me to grab something for you just let me know.
