Hi Ivan,

I noticed this too this morning when i needed some data. Maybe Jeff can fix
this in quantmod when he reads this.

In the mean time i wrote some code to get the data i needed:

asof=Sys.Date()
#asof=as.Date("2011-11-29")
universe = c('DIA', 'IEF', 'GLD')

cat("as-of date: ", format(asof), "\n")

from=asof-(89*4)
to=asof
a=as.character(as.integer(format(from, "%m"))-1)
b=format(from, "%d")
c=format(from, "%Y")
d=as.character(as.integer(format(to, "%m"))-1)
e=format(to, "%d")
f=format(to, "%Y")

for(symbol in universe) {
    url=paste("http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=", symbol,
"&a=", a, "&b=", b, "&c=", c, "&d=", d, "&e=", e, "&f=", f,
"&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=", symbol, "&x=.csv", sep="")
    file=paste("/tmp/", symbol, ".csv", sep="")
    download.file(url, file)
    assign(symbol, as.xts(read.csv(file, header=FALSE, skip=1,
col.names=c("Date", "Open", "High", "Low", "Close", "Volume", "Adjusted"),
row.names=1)))
}

HTH,
