: Hi,

: In the last 3-4 days, most of the Yahoo adjusted historical closing prices are off by a couple of decimals (i.e. 71.55 is downloaded as 7155.). I can correct this by hand because I'm just following a couple dozens funds but its really irritating. I'm having problems with RBCGX, JAOLX, IPSMX, PBTCX, PLCPX and many others. Hope this gets fixed fast.

: Thanks, Roger

Hi Roger,
Both the Yahoo (Historical) and Yahoo (Adjusted Historical) servers
are not reporting proper prices for recent days. This is even true if
you use your browser and look up the quotes on their site. For example:

http://chart.yahoo.com/t?a=10&b=16&c=99&d=01&e=17&f=00&g=d&s=jansx&y=0&z=jansx

I have written them on this, and they said they are aware of the problem
and working on fixing it. They did not give an estimate as to when it
would be resolved. We maintain the status of each quote server under
"Help/FM on the Web/Check for Updates". Please check back there for the
status. Also, the regular Yahoo server is working fine, so you may choose
to switch to the daily server until this problem is resolved.

Thanks,
Mark
