: Hey Mark

: I noted in the help section of Fund manager that it can link to quite a few historical quote providers. Which historical quote providers on the web do you recommend? Maybe your top two picks? I need historical quotes for equities (split adjusted prices/10-15 year horizon) as well as historical prices for major US indices. To track indices do I just set up index investments and request index prices? Do I use ticker symbols and, if so, where can I look those up for S&P 500, Dow, etc?

: Regarding the password problem of a couple a days ago, I decided to start from scratch and re-entered my investment info. Thanks for the responses on x-mas.

: Thanks

Hi RLL,
I would recommend the Yahoo historical quote servers, they are quite good.
If you plan to enter the splits/distributions for past history, use the
"Historical" server. If you want all the prior prices updated adjusted for
splits and distributions use the "Adjusted Historical" server. Historical
prices of indices are offered as well. Just go to Yahoo with your browser
and do a ticker lookup.

Thanks,
Mark
