I typed in a ticker and pressed "Add"

I think this happens if there is no properties file for api/yahoo. Can you click Api Settings -> Yahoo and than save. This will create the api.properties file in home/tachart/properties

[benmccann]

It seems like the better behavior if this file is missing would be to create it rather than throwing an error. Why should the user have to know to press Api Settings -> Yahoo -> save the first time they use the app?

Sure, this was not planed to be the default way. I will fix it soon. But I want to merge other changes before
