Does not retrieve latest closing price for periods of time #49

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

When updating prices, since updating to 3.2.0, MyPersonalIndex does not always 
retrieve all of the ETF/fund closing prices. If I try back an hour or two later 
it works fine. Is it just the time of day that I am updating that this occurs?

Also, possibly related, if I try to update prices at 6:30 PM EST, for example, 
it only shows prices from the day before. If I manually change the "End Date" 
to today's date, it just shows the prices as empty (0).

This is expected behavior.  I had this conversation by e-mail the other day 
explain the issue:

-------------------------------------
From User: 
Are you aware that on a regular day all the funds (all the mutual funds and 
ETF's ) usually take til 11 pm to update?

Response:
I am aware of this. Yahoo Finance is the best (and most complete) source of 
historical data for free. This means I need to abide by their timelines, which 
entails waiting for updates until 11pm. Unless I pay for a direct feed from 
another source, there is nothing I can do to speed up this process.
-------------------------------------

This is why at 6:30pm, the date does not switch over to the current day yet.  
Not until 11pm do the newest closing prices become available.  Also, I notice 
there is a general order that the updates occur.  VSS, for example, seems to be 
the last one in my portfolio to update each day.  I recommend waiting until the 
next morning (or anytime on a weekend) to perform updates so everything is 
updated at the same time.
