Keep in mind that the open price you see for the first bar of the day may not be a tradable price. Sometimes only 100 shares traded on a very wide bid ask.

Expected growth in China?

No, period.

http://screener.finance.yahoo.com/stocks.html With share price over 0$. I dont know if it is a complete list. And this thing must be evolving every day with the IPOs, ticker changes, mergers,... I think if you use the Java version you can save to Excel.

And there is this fingerprint keyboard login that makes it pretty hard to just transfer the password ;-)
