Thanks for complaining to Yahoo. Please let me know of the final
outcome.
I switched to MSN last night, it was a hassle because MSN doesn't
have a bigger historical database compared to Yahoo. I also have to
update index tickers since they are different.
Looks like this thread is dying. Is it everyone else switching to
MSN/eSignal or use paid services?
Regards,
Joe
