Stckwatch/Yahoo Prices

[jcasey]

I have been unable to get correct price updates from Stockwatch, Stockwatch Historical and Yahoo historical since Dec. 23.
I did get an update on Jan. 2, 2014 but on Jan. 3 several mutual funds and stocks reported wildly different prices. and my Jan. 2 prices disappeared.
For example CCO-T went from (approx.)21.00 to 10.00. An example of a Mutual Fund - National Bank Canadian Equity (NBS*EQU)went from 10.06 to 10.37 and the date is listed as 12/24/14. Several other stocks have been reported at $50 when they should be $3.
Is this a problem with these Canadian quote servers?

Similar: no Canada Stockwatch prices for MFs since Dec 23.

Thanks for the notification, we will investigate and post the results back here when we know more.

We've released an update to the quote module. Module 451 fixes the issue where quotes are updated for Dec 2014 instead of Dec 2013. This doesn't change which quotes are available though. For example, the symbol NBS*EQU on Canada Stockwatch is currently showing a "Last Trade" date of Dec 24, 2013, which is what price will get updated when retrieving from this server. The Canada Stockwatch Historical database has a latest quote of 12-27-2013. Once these servers have more updated quotes, Fund Manager will be able to retrieve them.

If you are having trouble getting a current quote for your Canadian mutual fund, please visit these sites with your web browser, and see what they are reporting for the last trade date. Links to all the quote servers are available here:

Hi Mark,

I am also having issues getting the latest prices from Stockwatch. For example, if I go to their website and lookup mutual fund "TD Entertainment & Communications Fund - I" (Symbol TD*ECF), they have prices listed after Dec. 23 up to Jan. 2. However, when I retrieve prices in Fund Manager, I am not getting anything after Dec. 23.

Thanks.

P.S. I have downloaded the latest quote module and it didn't help.

Hi stakats,

Are you still having this problem? I just looked now, and it appears they have a quote for TD*ECF as of Jan 3, and it updated properly in Fund Manager when I just now tested it. As of this weekend I believe their database hadn't been updated for prices since late December, but things appear to be working properly again. I just retrieved this quote from Canada Stockwatch using quote module 451 and Fund Manager properly updated the price for Jan 3, 2014 for $40.83. I also tested the Canada Stockwatch (3M Historical) and that also correctly updated prices for the last 3 months.
