Hi El Wealtho,

Thanks for the feedback. We are working on improving the situation... Check back under the Announcements forum periodically. We may also send out another email.

Hi El Wealtho,

We have just added "CNN Money" as a good replacement for the old Yahoo server. See this announcement.

Mark --
Does CNN Money support Option Quotes?
Have you changed the policy you stated earlier or will everyone wanting to use CNN Money must upgrade?

"Another factor to consider is quote and transaction module updates. We maintain support for the last 2 major versions, which are currently FM 2016 and FM 2018. "

Hi danmcco,

I don't believe CNN supports options. You could use CNN for everything except your options, and continue using Yahoo (Options) for your option quotes.

Our policy has not changed. We maintain the existing quote servers for the last 2 major versions. However, if we add new quote servers we consider that extending the capabilities, and those will only be available in the current FM version (2018). The Yahoo server was updated for both FM 2016 and FM 2018, although it is much slower.

Mark,

Given the current situation with Yahoo server which is slow and unstable, can you
at least make CNN Money server available for FM 2016 version? Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

We aren't planning on making any new servers available in FM 2016. If you would like to use the new quote servers you can upgrade to FM 2018. We are still hopeful we can improve the Yahoo server, and are working on that. Any Yahoo improvements will be available for both FM 2016 and FM 2018.

Quote module 525 restores the Yahoo server has been restored to being very fast. This update is available for both FM 2016 and FM 2018 by selecting "Help / Fund Manager on the Web / Check for Updates...".
