Disruption of equities data

[rsvp]

Our spin-off of fecon235 source code still inherits the upstream problems outlined in https://github.com/rsvp/fecon235/issues/7

Here at fecon236, it is localized in the stock.py module: https://github.com/MathSci/fecon236/blob/develop/fecon236/host/stock.py

• check new development at https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader/issues
• [ ] - write another fecon236 module using reliable data vendor

Notes on YAHOO Finance

Recent development by @JECSand, https://github.com/JECSand/yahoofinancials :

My replacement for the old yahoo-finance module, YahooFinancials, can get all of the historical price data needed by pandas' users. YF can return daily, weekly, and monthly historical price and volume JSON data for all stocks, ETFs, indices, cryptocurrencies, currencies, and commodity futures available on Yahoo Finance. Most Stackoverflow questions I have encountered regarding the module seem to revolve around getting it to work with Pandas. As long as Yahoo Finance is running on it's new React setup (why they killed the old API late last year, they got a new web app), my module will get the financial data.
