[R-sig-Finance] get.hist.quote question

[Michael Stegh]

Dear Andrew,

after I read your mail, I tried downloading the quotes manually from the German Yahoo 
Finance webpage into the .csv format. The resulting file is truncated, too. I have tried this for 
several major German stocks and the files only inlcude the prices back to August 2005 
(although the historical prices back to 2000 are available). 

In contrast the historical prices of the German Stock Market Index DAX are available till 1990 
and the downloaded .csv file contains all of them.

So it rather seems to be a problem of Yahoo and not of R.

Regards,

Michael Stegh
