NAME

       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA - Obtain information about stocks and funds in the USA and Canada.

SYNOPSIS

           use Finance::Quote;

           $q = Finance::Quote->new;

           %info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI");

DESCRIPTION

       This method provides access to financial information from a number of exhcanges in the United States and
       Canada.  The following methods are available:

               canada
               usa
               yahoo
               nyse
               nasdaq
               vanguard
               fidelity

       These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be considered somewhat interchangeable.
       However, the method "yahoo" should be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source
       that Yahoo tracks.

       This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the
       argument "Yahoo::USA" to Finance::Quote->new().

       Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoo's terms and conditions.  See
       http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information.

LABELS RETURNED

       This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as well as the currency label.  See
       Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.

BUGS

       Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the United States and Canada.  For
       example, it is possible to request a stock using the "NYSE" method and still obtain data even if that
       stock does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange.
