I have noticed last few weeks a growing number of tickers that don't download in yahoo current and need to be downloaded in yahoo historic. For example, out of 645 ETFs, 150 or so will not download in yahoo current after the market has been open one hour this morning. Some of these are low volume, infrequently traded tickers. But in past this was only a handleful, maybe 10-20 or so. Now, tt seems to be tickers that trade up to a few thousand, but they are trading and just not being reported. They will report EOD, Yahoo Historic later.
I'm sure it will change again. That's Yahoo.

If so, you have to use historical data which in your case (late at night) will always work.

The data is present in the historical download. Does Yahoo just stink? ------------------------------------ Please note that this group is for discussion between users only.
