I am interested in reading financial data and I use the following statement: originalData = FinancialData[stock, "OHLCV", dateRange] // Normal // QuantityMagnitude;

However, this always requires getting the data through the Internet (at least in my understanding). I would like to be able to read the data for a number of stocks (perhaps all of the S&P 500) over a certain period (and I don't care if it takes all night), but I would like to be able to store the data in a set of files (each file would be named after the stock whose data it has) so that in the future, when I want to read the data for a stock during a period of time included in the data, I can read it directly from the file on my computer. This would make it: 1) Faster 2) No longer dependent on me being connected to the Internet (since I use a Satellite connection (one of the disadvantages of living in a rural area is that a Satellite connection might be all you have) Could someone tell me how I could do that? I understand that perhaps using paclets might be the way to do it. Is it possible for me to do that?
