 I ask this question because it seems to be the Most Often Feature Complaint
in Q.

Or am I just imagining it?

It amazes me that Quicken continues to have this same issue over and over
and over. For God's sakes, Yahoo gets the quotes correctly, and on time.
Why the **** can't Intuit get this corrected? This problem influences my
recommendation when I am asked about businesss and home financial programs
for the end user. Let's just say, Quicken is losing in that regard.

It doesn't happen every day..just keep doing daily updates and it will be
correct more days than it is wrong.

Intuit needs to give us the option of simply importing the prices from an
excel file or simple comma delineated file so we can bypass this broken
system they have in place.
