I am using getSymbols function from quantmod package to get price data from
internet.
Currently I have:
my.ticker <- "IBM"
getSymbols(my.ticker,src="google")
This creates an xts object named my.ticker which contains historical price
data for IBM.
How can I call and manipulating this xts object using my original string
my.ticker?
I want to do:
colnames(my.ticker) <- c("open","high","low","close","vol")
However, this does not work as my.ticker refers to the string "IBM" rather
than the xts object called IBM.
Out of desperation, I have also tried:
colnames(paste(my.ticker)) <- c("open","high","low","close","vol")
colnames(as.xts(my.ticker)) <- c("open","high","low","close","vol")
Thanks
