Canadian Mutual Funds not found #39

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add a new security using the Yahoo ticker for a CDN fund, eg. F0CAN06P5C.TO
2. When asked, allow the program to update prices for the new security.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get error "The following securities were not updated (Yahoo! Finance may not 
yet have today's price): F0CAN06P5C.TO

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
3.0.0 on XP (SP3)

Please provide any additional information below.
The program works for equity and ETF securities listed on .TO such as BCE.TO or 
XIU.TO, but mutual funds always seem to fail.  If I browse to the Yahoo web 
site it does find the fund, so they do exist.

Hi,

Yahoo Finance does not have the data for this fund.  If you browse to the 
security and look at historical prices, you will see there is no data.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=F0CAN06P5C.TO+Historical+Prices

Currently there are no paid sources of data, so if it isn't on Yahoo Finance, 
you will have to import the prices manually.
