Advice for investors (Canadian mutuals) not working

[bikeinxs]

I've been away for a couple of weeks so I don't know when it quit working but it didn't work Monday (Aug25) or today Aug 26.

I've upgraded to v9 and have all the latest updates.

Hi bikeinxs,

I see this problem too. I've updated the online status, and we'll look into it.

Hi bikeinxs,

After looking into it some more, it appears this server no longer offers Canadian mutual fund quotes. It seems they only offer stock quotes. I would suggest switching to the 'Canada Stockwatch' server to get your Canadian mutual fund quotes. We'll have to look for a replacement for the "Advice" server, as a second source of Canadian mutual fund quotes. If you have any suggestions, please let us know.

Is Canada Stockwatch reliable now? I seem to recall that I used to use it but switched to Advice for Investors.

I don't know anything about the technology issues but these two sites provide regular canadian mutual fund quotes and might be useable.

www.fundlibrary.com

Hi bikeinxs,

I'm not sure of the reliability of Canada Stockwatch. I just tested it, and it was working fine. For a while there, they were shutting down their site to everyone except their subscribed members. I haven't heard any complaints about this server recently, so maybe they stopped that.

Thanks for the pointers to alternative servers. I will check them out.

Hi bikeinxs,

We've just released quote module 402, which adds support for Fund Library. To get 402 use "Help / FM on the Web / Check for Updates...".
