Hi,
I am using Fundmanager 8.4 (licensed). Until including April 11th, I could get a price update for my German stocks. After April 11th prices don't get updated anymore.
For all of them I use either the WKN, or the ISIN as symbol
Example:
Alianz (Insurer)
http://de.finance.yahoo.com/
ISIN: DE0008404005.DE
WKN: 840400.DE
Yahoo symbol: ALV.DE
If I go to http://de.finance.yahoo.com/ and type DE0008404005.DE or 840400.DE, I still get the current price. Only not in Fundmanager anymore (retrieve server set to Yahoo Germany)
DE stands for Xetra Stock Exchange Germany.
Now, if I use the symbol ALV.DE (symbol can be found in the link to further info to a stock) in Fundmanager I still get the price.
From IE the following links all work and deliver the same:
http://de.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=DE0008404005.DE
http://de.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=840400.DE
http://de.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ALV.DE
Note, using the symbol ALV.de would be very inconvenient, as in Germany the ISIN and WKN are the standards used everywhere - including brokers, stockexchange, yahoo from IE ..... So I would have to change all my investments in Fundmanager to symbols, that are not used anywhere else!
Please help and advise. Thank you very much,
Helmut
