If I recall correctly, this is a Schwab problem, and the
workaround is to not download from Schwab on Mondays.
(Naturally, call Schwab and complain.)
You can test this for yourself - I don't use Schwab. Try doing
a Quicken quote download only (no financial institution
downloads) after market close on Monday: see if you have Sunday
prices. Then do a Schwab only download after market close on
Monday (no quotes, no other financial institutions), and see if
you then get Sunday quotes.
