Hi folks!
I have a question, which is starting to bug me.
I have created a scraper that downloads the current "Market Movers" from yahoo - finance, but i noticed that some of the stocks that were listed (Today since it is sunday it is a fixed list because the market is closed, so it makes sense to take a look at the source code) are NOT in may spreadsheet.
I now have discovered that the name of the stock (or the percentage it has moved) is not a part of the source code!??! How is this possible???
The link to the page: finance.yahoo.com/stock-center/#mkt-movers (Look under "Market Movers", you can see it from the top of the page)
The stock which is displayed on the list is called SGMS, it has a percentage movement of 2.81% - But if i open the source code of the page and search for
"SGMS" or "2.81" i cannot find any of these two!
Does anybody by any chance know, how this is possible?
Cheers
JKB
