Ken,
I answered you but it didn't get through - Yahoo board is a bit
finicky the last couple of days.
AFAIK AQ is not a crippled except that after it downloads extra
fundamental data for 20 sysmbols it doesn't download the rest and
then messages that.
I haven't entered my key since a reinstall so I am unregistered and I
went through the basic steps for 100 symbols
- data
- fullname etc
- extras (stopped at 20)
with no problems so the issue was something other than AQ.
Yahoo gets some bad press and AQ is not perfect but IMO they are a
great workhorse (people would be surprized to know that current
intraday prices for indices, as viewed on Yahoo, are eSignal and
match my eS charts so it is not all bad data).
