<p>The set of data that yahoo makes available for display on its
web site seems to be slightly more complete that the set of data
yahoo makes available for download. There is a particular service
that yahoo provides such that if we send them a correctly formatted
url containing the ticker symbol, they send back the appropriate
table of price information. For example if we wanted price
informational Google we use the following url to get the table from
yahoo</p>
<p><a href=
"http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=goog&d=3&e=16&f=2009&g=d&a=1&b=15&c=2009&ignore=.csv">
http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=goog&amp;d=3&amp;e=16&a...</a></p>
<p>Testing that url with the symbols that your require information
on results in a not found error coming back from the yahoo servers,
e.g:</p>
<p><a href=
"http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=cjr-b.to&d=3&e=16&f=2009&g=d&a=1&b=15&c=2009&ignore=.csv">
http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=cjr-b.to&amp;d=3&amp;e=...</a></p>
<p>I realize this is frustrating. We know yahoo have the
information on the symbols you want and it is not clear why they do
not make it available for download. We have seen tis before with a
limited number of symbols and currently there is nothing we can do
to fix this. However we are investigating a more generalized
solution for downloading price information that can be pointed at a
variety of sources.</p>
<p>I am sorry for the inconvenience this is causing you.</p>
<p>Sincerely</p>
