: Greetings.

: I am trying out Fund Manager and am happy with what i see thus far. Great product at a reasonable price.

: I am having trouble getting any historical data for options from Yahoo historical. The symbol I am using is oihuo.x (Sep75 OIH puts). The data downloads fine from the non-historical yahoo but doesn't update from the historical server (even though the historical data for stocks data downloads fine).

: Can anyone help?

: Thank you,

: Richard.

Hi Richard,

I don't have a good answer for getting historical option prices. Yahoo
doesn't seem to carry them. As you've noted, they have the current
price, but not historical quotes for options. If you know of a good, free
quote server that offers this please let me know.

Thanks,
Mark
