In my newest article I present a short example how one can retrieve the data of SPY (tracking the performance of S&P500 index) using Yahoo! data in a new Matlab 2013a and I show a simple code how one can test the time period of buying-holding-and-selling SPY (or any other stock paying dividends) to make a profit every time.

What is the new thing of Matlab in the article?

The fetch function in Matlab?

It was there even in 2009.

Not to denigrate what you did, but on matlab's file exchange there is a pretty decent function for getting yahoo data.
