## Monkey Patching
You can change the data returned from Yahoo with the cryptic query parameter at the end of the URL: `&f=nsl1oc1p2`.
For all of the possible fields, see https://code.google.com/p/yahoo-finance-managed/wiki/enumQuoteProperty (this list seems to be out of date...)
You'll want to update the headers passed to `tabulate()` as well.
