: Reading other threads below, I think I have understood the problem with retrieving Yahoo Italy prices using Yahoo symbols.

: 1. While the following web page works well with prices updated:
: http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q/cq?d=v1&s=IFGSNPA.MI+IFANIMEU.MI+IFINGDVDA.MI+IFNORMONE.MI+AL.MI+FXC.MI

: 2. The corresponding link for the .csv file doesn't provide updated prices for "IF"-beginning symbols:
: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=IFGSNPA.MI,IFANIMEU.MI,IFINGDVDA.MI,IFNORMONE.MI,AL.MI,FXC.MI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

: Because 1. is Yahoo Finanza Italy, but 2. is Yahoo Finance, the problem is with Yahoo Finance, that currently is not updated.
: Am I right?
: Can you help me anyway?

: Thanks

Hi Enrico,

If you look up just the single quote for one one of these, you do see the current quote with your browser. For example:

http://it.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=IFGSNPA.MI

If you look right below the main table, there is a link titled:

"Scarica i dati"

and it is a hyperlink to:

http://it.old.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=IFGSNPA.MI&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

This .csv link is where FM goes to get the quotes. For some reason, this .csv link is reporting "N/A" for some of these quotes. I'm not sure why, or when this started happening. Hopefully it is temporary, and Yahoo Italy will correct the data being downloaded in csv format. We don't have any special contacts at Yahoo. You might want to send them a note, and point out this problem, maybe they will fix it faster.

Thanks,
Mark
