[GNC] AlphaVantage Deal

[Ethan Swint]

Hmm... not a lot of response from the user on this topic. I'll bubble it to
the top this time and let it go from there.

The main theme was that the AlphaVantage team is open to a lower-priced
premium option that would give 120 quotes/minute for up to 128 quotes/day,
then revert back down to the 5 quotes/minute. It works perfectly for me, as
I have many securities that I'm tracking, but only use GNC to sync once a
day. If you are interested in something along similar lines, feel free to
email me separately and let me know how much you think this service is
worth to you.

I'll have to pull Bruce's implementation and kick the tires on it - that
could be the solution that works for me.

Regards,
Ethan

In my opinion, at $5.00 or more per month one might as well purchase
Quicken (which is now a subscription based product I believe).

For the F::Q developers, I've been working on module for World Trading
Data. Free use is limited to 250 per day, and it's only US traded
equities and funds. See pull request #88 on the F::Q github site. It
needs a little polishing, but it has been working for me.
