FM is not retrieving Yahoo preferred quotes

Questions about updating prices or transactions in Fund Manager

Postby Robert A » Thu Sep 14, 2017 10:59 am

Hello Mark,

Today I am not able to retrieve quotes for preferred stocks, although they are showing up correctly on Yahoo.

Is there a new module in the works?

Hi Robert A,

There are several Yahoo quote servers: Yahoo, Yahoo (Alternate), etc. Exactly which one are you using? Can you give me an example ticker symbol that is failing to update?
Thanks,
Mark

I am using Yahoo. Yahoo Historical never works for preferred stocks, so that hasn't changed.
But Yahoo worked for current prices until today.
ARI-PC
CIM-PB
CLNS-PB
CORR-PA
MITT-PB
NLY-PF

Hi Robert A,

I took a look at ARI-PC, and the regular "Yahoo" server is returning a price for 9/13/17. It is updating, but it is getting yesterday's price currently. It may be that the server is just behind, and they will correct the issue. Are you not getting any price, or is it maybe you are getting 9/13, and expecting 9/14?

If you change these to use Yahoo (Alternate) that is updating the current price for 9/14. You can change only these preferred investments to use Yahoo (Alternate).
Thanks,
Mark

I update every day, so what I'm seeing is that the 9/13 price hasn't updated. It is always a 20-minute delayed price, but there's been no update all day for the preferreds.

I do not have an option to select Yahoo (alternate) in FM 2014, as far as I'm aware.

Hi Robert A,

Yes, you're right, sorry about that. The Yahoo (Alternate) requires FM 2016. You can either wait and see if Yahoo fixes the issue, try another quote server possibly, or upgrade to FM 2016 to use the Yahoo (Alternate) server.
Thanks,
Mark

OK, perhaps Yahoo will fix it.
