: Hi

: Having used the Personal edition for some time I am now trialing Professional version 7. The problem I have is that I can't seem to get any prices for 2005 from Yahoo historical. I can get historic prices up to and including 31 Dec 2004. I can get todays price from Yahoo UK & Ireland.

: Incidentally all the prices I am after are London prices, ie a stock code with the .L suffix.

: Am I missing something.

Hi Bob,

It appears that the Yahoo (Historical) server currently only has
quotes for the *.L symbols up until 12/31/04. I've seen in the past
that this server can sometimes be up to a couple days behind current
quotes. Hopefully they will soon get more current prices. You can see
this by visiting Yahoo with your browser, for example:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=DNO.L

only has prices up through 12/31/2004, but:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=INTC

has prices up through 1/4/2005.

The behavior here won't be any different between the Personal and Professional
versions.

Thanks,
Mark
