No problems with Yahoo data here, all works fast and fine (I have
about 700 symbols).
Download "Historical quotes" after midnight ET at the earliest,
preferably the following morning.
Download "Current day" from 20 minutes after the market open till
about midnight.
The data retrieved by Amiquote is EXACTLY the data posted on Yahoo.
If there are errors, and they do happen from time to time, they get
corrected (within a couple days) by CSI data (Yahoo's data supplier).
Once per week (on Saturdays) I download the prior 10 days worth of
historical data to make sure all is correct.
