Download split and dividend data

The previous exercise taught you how to adjust raw historical OHLC prices for splits and dividends using adjustOHLC(). But adjustOHLC() only works for OHLC data. It will not work if you only have close prices. adjustOHLC() also does not return any of the split or dividend data it uses.

You will need the dates and values for each split and dividend if you want to adjust a non-OHLC price series, or if you simply want to analyze the raw split and dividend data.

You can download the split and dividend data from Yahoo Finance using the quantmod functions getSplits() and getDividends(), respectively. Note that the historical dividend data from Yahoo Finance is adjusted for splits. If you want to download unadjusted dividend data, you need to set split.adjust = FALSE in your call to getDividends().

Instructions

Use getSplits() to import AAPL split data from Yahoo Finance. Assign the output to an object named splits.
Print the splits object.
Use getDividends() to import AAPL dividend data from Yahoo Finance. Assign the output to an object named dividends.
Look at the first few rows of dividends and note the values are small and in fractions of a penny because they have been split-adjusted.
Use getDividends() to import unadjusted AAPL dividend data from Yahoo Finance. Assign the output to an object named raw_dividends.
Look at the first few rows of raw_dividends and note how they differ from the split-adjusted dividends in the dividends object.
