: I have been using FM for quite some time with no problems. Yesterday when I retrieved prices (using YAHOO) as I do every night, the price for GE was not updated. All other stocks, Canadian and US were fine. Same problem today. I checked that the Internet Retrieve for GE was set to Retrieve using the default server (and I tried switching it off and then back on). I set up a dummy portfolio with just GE and when I tried to retrieve the price, the normal retrieval window showed but the price was not retrieved. I added another stock to the portfolio and tried retrieving again - the price for the second stock was updated but GE was not. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Howard,

The problem seems to be with Yahoo. Their last quote for GE is from 3/29
(two days ago). You can see this by going to their web site with your
browser, and looking up the GE quote. Hopefully they will get this resolved
soon. In the mean time you may want to try a different quote server, like
PC Quote. Just go into Fund Manager under "Options / Internet Settings..."
and change the quote server. I verified that PC Quote had today's quote
for GE.

Thanks,
Mark
