George:
Thanks for reposting this a 2nd time. I did not get the
first one either.
I had a look at the URL and it does give tickers that Yahoo
accepts and gives current data for.
However, for the couple I tried, Yahoo does not give a
chart and when I click on historical prices I get the
following:
"There is no Historical Prices data available for
AGC*CDA.TO."
Is there another way to get Yahoo to give historical
prices? If not, then their is nothing to import into AB
(unless one does it one day at a time - not very
practical).
