: : : : Hello Mark,

: : :
: : : : I'm trying the latest version of FM :
: : : : Personal version : 8.5
: : : : Quote module : 385
: : : : Transaction module : 123

: : : : I get wrong prices when I retrieved historical quotes from Internet. For example, for the stock Société générale (a French bank)
: : : : Symbol : GLE
: : : : ISIN : FR0000130809

: : : : I get :
: : : : Date : 26/07/07
: : : : Close : 0.390
: : : : Shares : 64.000
: : : : Value : 24.96
: : : : Open : 0.430
: : : : High : 0.430
: : : : Low : 0.350
: : : : Volume : 2,026,700

: : : :
: : : : The actual price for this stock is 126.80 EUR, very far from 0.390.

: : : : Any idea, suggestion ?

: : : : Thanks,

: : : Hi Martin,

: : : What quote server are you using? If you're just using Yahoo, the stock for GLE is Glencairn Gold Corp, which is trading around 0.39.

: : - When I use abcbourse (a French quote server), I get the message "Could not update any investment"
: : If you go at www.abcbourse.com, you're going to see the ticker GLE for Société générale

: : - When I use Yahoo - France, I still get the wrong price...

: : Any idea ?

: : Thanks,

: Hi Martin,

: For abcbourse, you need to use the ISIN (FR0000130809) as the symbol in Fund Manager. I'll add this to the instructions for this server...

: For Yahoo - France the symbol is "GLE.MI", not "GLE". Just plain "GLE" is GLENCAIRN GOLD. You can use your browser to go to these quote server sites, and look up the symbols they use.

: For links to all the servers, see:
