Just note there is currently a caveat for the YahooWeb module. The trade 
date is not available (at least not without JavaScript). The date 
returned is the date the data is retrieved unless it's a weekend, in 
which case it will be set to the previous Friday.

A recent web based URL with the trade date has been identified, but the 
module has not yet been modified to use it. Other modules that work 
without requiring an API key (at least for US exchanges) are Fool 
(fool), GoogleWeb (googleweb), and MarketWatch (marketwatch).

Thank you.
