Joe,
from my own experience I can only say that
Microsoft has by no means the same number of stocks and past stocks prices in
their database! To put it simply: Yahoo is superior to Microsoft although
it may have had virus attacks fairly recently and therefore limited data access
to frequent downloading processes.
Regards,
Udo

Betreff: [amibroker] Re: Yahoo EOD
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--- In amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
