[R] Using quantmod to obtain current Dow Jones index

[Dennis Fisher]

R 3.4.1

Colleagues,

I am just learning to use the quantmod package and I have encountered something that I don’t understand.

This works:
	getSymbols("^DJI") 

This does not work:
	getQuote("^DJI”)
It returns only NAs:
	Trade Time Last Change % Change Open High Low Volume 
	^DJI <NA> N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 

Two questions:
	1.  Is there some way to obtain the current DJI using quantmod?
	2.  If not, can someone suggest alternatives?
