Automatic dividend

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The user should not have to enter the dividends, they should be 
retrieved/calculated automatically.

Hey Alex cool project.

Some info that will help for this task:
To retrieve dividend info automatically you can request a csv from yahoo 
finance.
For example for dividends from XOM during Jan 1 2011 to Feb 28 2012:
http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=XOM&a=00&b=2&c=2011&d=01&e=28&f=2012
&g=v&ignore=.csv

and then parse.

Thanks Matthew, that's exactly what I'm planning to do! I'm hoping I'll be able 
to release this feature soon.

Any progress on this feature?  Of course, my biggest problem is importing 
transaction data into various watcher sites.  (None have been good yet.)  My 
transaction exports from Scottrade (as CSV) have dividend payments in the data. 
 But not a single site/tool has been able to handle it.  Crazy, huh?  Wondering 
how yours will pan out for this.

No progress unfortunately.. I've been so busy lately (past several months)..
With the query provided by Matthew, I just have to sit down and code it.

I expect to deliver this feature by July. This is definitely the #1 priority 
among the features.

On a side note, please provide me with your CSV if (and when) the parsing 
fails. Some people have raised parsing issues in the past (without providing 
their CSV file) there's just no way I can fix it without it..
