<p>This stock (SPG.NZ) and the other one I mentioned (IPL.NZ) are
both new stocks on the market last month, and I guess you are
right, history is a problem for Yahoo.</p>
<p>However, Yahoo downloads both current price and volume ok for
IPL.</p>
<p>But for SPG, Yahoo downloads volume ok, but downloads current
price as $2.00 every day, when the price currently trades between
$2.00 and $2.05, and today is $2.02.</p>
<p>So, something appears wrong and Yahoo can only seem to download
a price of $2.00 for SPG.</p>
<p>Cheers<br>

was available but historical prices not, as a step in
troubleshooting try turning historical prices downloading off and
see if brings down the correct latest price.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/406150082016-08-26T00:12:32Z2016-08-26T00:12:32ZSHARE PRICE DOWNLOADS INCORRECTLY<div><p>Thanks for idea dwg. However, with History set to Do Not Update,
Yahoo still downloads a price of $2.00, and I see the current
quoted price on the NZ stock exchange is now $2.04<br>

is showing a price of "2":</p>
<p>"SPG.NZ",2,"8/26/2016","10:30am",+0,2,2,2,8746</p>
<p>So this looks like a yahoo fault, not much that the Moneydance
folks can do about this. If Yahoo provides crap you get crap

information as you. So, I have reported this an an issue with
Yahoo, but am not hopeful of a response.</p>
<p>So, unless the MD folk have a suggestion, it looks like I will
have to manual update the price.</p>

originally designed by a third party for use with MD then we took
it over. Yahoo was used because Yahoo provided a free downloadable
file so there would be no fee's associated with its use.</p>
