Does anyone know why I am getting phantom weekend quotes whenever I download
quotes on a Monday? And how can I fix it? Also, the Monday quotes are left
blank.
Thanks,
-Jeff

Hi, Jeff.

Are you sure they are weekend quotes? The market is open all day Monday and
if you get quotes at 11 am Eastern time, you'll get prices from the first
hour or two of Monday trading.

Another explanation could be that you have stocks traded on foreign
exchanges that might be open when the NYSE is not. We have a global
marketplace now, you know.

If you need a better answer, please post more details.

Do the phantom quotes all apply to securities held with one
financial institution? If so, what financial institution?

The phantom quotes all come from one financial institution, Schwab. The only
other institutions I get quotes for are mutual funds which only update after
5:30, but are always on the correct day. Only the Schwab quotes are actively
traded stocks (in other words, that trade all day).

The quotes are definitely weekend quotes. I only retreive the quotes well
after the market has closed, always later than 4:30 pm. The Monday quotes
are given Sunday's date and Monday doesn't get any quotes. All the stocks
are traded on NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ (no foreign securities). Again, this
only happens on Mondays. I'm not sure what other details to add.

Thanks for any help.
-Jeff

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.
