Fix list of stocks #59

Open ddsnowboard opened 8 years ago

ddsnowboard commented 8 years ago

The list is wrong (or yahoo doesn't have them anymore). I dunno. Maybe some companies went out of business. Either way, there's stuff in there that no one has anymore, and I need to fix that. I don't know how though.

Maybe I start by having an admin method that checks out everything and makes sure it can still be located.

And also make something that I can easily call anytime I want that will go get a new list of stocks, clean them up, and put them into the stocks file.

This is really broken. Some stocks can't find prices because either because they went out of business, changed their symbols, or yahoo is just not working that day, and the app has no way to get around that. I think the hardcoded list of stocks has to go. Either update it once a day or load the list live, but this solution isn't working.

Tried to improve in c2f5cf661ad59b7b1113a0e648c7bc4abe4c72d7 and a9da29db75aa71dc0ac70d7dc2410f6b485827db

I think if I just reload the list from http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/company-list.aspx every time something bad happens, we'll be fine. It's open, I don't need a cookie, so it would be pretty trivial. It would be slow, but we'll only do it when something bad is happening, so it's not a big deal.
