Both Yahoo, and moneycentral.msn.com provide stock quotes, but when a solution
is provided it would be tied in with where they come from. If you really want to pull
from a web page I'd try the moneycentral site since Microsoft might have more to gain
with you getting consistent results over time with a Microsoft Product (Excel).

Chip Pearson has an example on his site in the downloads, and you will have to
modify it to the current layout of the webpage it obtains the quotes from. Every time
they change the layout you would have to tinker with code. You can
find some links on my stocks.htm page
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/stockes.htm

It would be more practical to work from a .csv file that you can also obtain
rather than the web page. And using Quicken or Money would be a lot
easier and would compress the stored results for each day (per day).

It will be useful to answer your query if you provide a link to such stock
prices.
