Hey George, I've done several similar "HTML Screen scrapers", but none of
them are RSS newsfeeds for a given ticker.
They all use WebRequests and streamreaders.
Here's source for one such - it is a book price service.
Given an ISBN it screen-scrapes to get prices from Amazon, B&N, and WHSmith
(It was developed before Amazon introduced its Amazon web services)
the screen scraper library

the webservice that uses the library

here's a working client that consumes the service

There still isn't an RSS feed out there that can provide news/stock prices
with a ticker symbol as input. There's supposedly a beta from Yahoo, but
it's not working and there is no estimated official release date.
I'm thinking of using screen scraping to get company news for a given
ticker symbol. I would use httpwebrequests, etc.
Has anybody done anything like this?
