: : : Hi Mark,

: : : I recently discovered that Yahoo.ca has historical prices for Canadian stocks. They are available to all without a membership. Would it be possible to have Fundmngr retrieve them? The navigation to this info is as follows:

: : : From Finance Home
: : : Enter symbol
: : : Click "Get quotes"
: : : Click "Chart"
: : : At the bottom of the chart, the Historical prices are available in Daily,
: : : weekly or monthly formats, 200 at a time.

: : Hi Sheldon,

: : Thanks for the tip.

: : Have you checked to see if these are also available on the regular
: : Yahoo (Historical) quote server? Can you give me an example Canadian
: : stock ticker that you're looking at?

: : Thanks,
: : Mark

: Hi Mark,

: I just tried to get one using the regular Yahoo (Historical) quote server. It was unable to retrieve it. The one that I tried to get prices for was Buhler Industries, symbol BUI.

: Thanks,
: Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,

I tested this one out, and if you go to Yahoo.ca and look up the historical
prices, it converts the symbol to:

BUI.TO

If you use this same symbol on the regular Yahoo (Historical) server you
can also retrieve historical prices from there using this symbol.

Thanks,
Mark
