Barto Guest Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2008 8:47 pm    Post subject: Quicken 2007 Mac & ETF's Hello all, I¹ve used Quicken for Mac for 10 years, and I¹ve had very few issues/problems with the software. I have the latest Quicken 2007 update installed on my original ³Snowball² iMac, which is running OS 10.4.11. Right now I¹m having trouble getting historical prices on three ETF¹S that I¹ve added to the ³watch list² in my portfolio. Two of the ETF¹s are iPath funds (I can¹t remember their symbols right now), the other is a SPDR Gold Fund (GLD). I am able to get regular price updates when I access Quicken Quotes, but I¹d like to get whatever historical prices are available on these ETF¹s. Since there isn¹t an ³ETF² category in the quote setup window, I¹ve tried setting up these fund both as mutual funds and as stocks‹and it doesn¹t matter‹the historical prices for these three ETF¹s fail to load. Has anyone else using Quicken for Mac had this problem? What workaround was successful for you? Like I said, the daily prices do update properly, it¹s just that I can¹t seem to get historical prices on these ETF¹s, even for the past month or quarter. Thanks, Jean in VA Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor JimH Guest Posted: Mon Jun 16, 2008 4:00 am    Post subject: Re: Quicken 2007 Mac & ETF's Jean S.

Like I said, the daily prices *do* update properly, it’s just that I can’t seem to get historical prices on these ETF’s, even for the past month or quarter. I had a similar problem on the Windows version of Quicken with FXE, the Euro Currency. The history data just would not download. I downloaded the price history as a CSV file from Yahoo, (http://finance.yahoo.com). I edited the file in "OpenOffice.org Calc" which is similar to Excel. I then imported the history from the resulting file into Quicken. It only took a few minutes total. -- Jim Back to top   Ads Advertising Sponsor Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Accounting Talk Forum Index -> Quicken All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Accounting Talk----------------Accounting TalkPeachtreeQuickbooksQuicken  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum 68 Attacks blocked Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
