: How should the properties of bonds be coded in order to download prices from YAHOO finance? Should the "symbol" be the "CUSIP"? thank you.

Hi Chris,

For price retrieval Fund Manager only uses the symbol, not the CUSIP. You would just want to check with Yahoo using your web browser to make sure they offer this bond quote, and find out what symbol they use for the bond. If they offer the quote enter that same symbol in Fund Manager.

Thanks,
Mark
