: Mark - I am able to update current preferred stock prices using Yahoo!, but Yahoo historical doesn't recognize the same symbol;

: e.g:
: hoo-pa
: daily but no historical

Hi Robert,

Yahoo doesn't have historical prices for everything that it has a daily quote for. I just verified, and hoo-pa is one of those. You can visit Yahoo's web site with a browser, and verify whether or not they have historical quotes for any given symbol. While looking at the current quote, there is a link to "historical prices" along the left.

If Yahoo doesn't have the historical prices you can also check out MSN, we now support retrieving historical quotes from there as well, they may have some Yahoo doesn't...

Thanks,
Mark
