I am having the same problem; i.e., no historical data, hence if
you use AmiQuote & "Yahoo Historical - EOD stocks,funds, US &
International (50)" as the source, many are failing - although most are new,
.BB or .PK. Even the new ETF (EFN) is not downloading historical
data.
Another complaint I've had with that is that here in Arizona, I
usually had to wait until after 7:00 PM to download anyway.
I have
solved this by using "Yahoo Current - current day only stocks, funds, US &
International (50)" as the source, which will download much faster and
earlier. You can also get snapshots during the day if you wish and they will
be corrected at EOD as long as you repeat after the close.
Caution
though, "Yahoo Current" won't give you yesterday's data if you didn't download
yesterday and won't correct if you don't download after EOD. Also, I think my
volumes are getting screwed up, not that I care, since I don't use volume
anymore because of the super computer trading.
I'm thinking of biting
the bullet and subscribing to QP3.
