[Jorge Nieves]

 Thank you...

I just re-run them now and obtained the same results.. What version of R
are you using?

Hi, Jorge,

Was the market actually open for the time period you requested? I've
just run those queries and they are working fine for me.

Will you try this again making sure the market you are querying is open
and let me know if it works for you?

Regards,
Ana
