: I think I understand adding a stock index (ex DJIA) so that you can overlay on portfolio however when I try to do an update of the index I get server errors. I suspect the symbol I'm using isn't correct but don't know how to fix it.

: Sample Problem: Yahoo says the Dow Jones Industrial Close is "^DJI1" but I can't retrieve this - what am I doing wrong?

: Thanks

Hi Davis,

You can see most of the symbols for inidices here:

For the Dow, you'll want ^DJI (no "1" at the end).

Thanks,
Mark
