stock headlines? DotCom 08-27-2007

In the "Investment Center" whenever I downloaded quotes it also used to have
a little newspaper icon next to each stock with recent headlines that
updates news on every quote refresh. That icon never appears any longer.
Anyone know why? Is there a setting somewhere that I messed up?
TIA

Hi, Dot.

Nope, you didn't mess up. Nor did I nor the several other users who have
reported this recently - and from time to time over the past few years.

Intuit messes up this download quite often. Sometimes we get quotes with no
news; sometimes we don't even get the quotes. We wonder which service
Intuit has contracted with, but whoever it is, the service is often
inadequate. I haven't seen any news there in about a week. Fortunately,
there are many other ways to get news and quotes online, but THIS ought to
work!

About all we can do is sit and wait until they get it fixed. :>( If you
find a better solution, please let us all know.

Thanks for the info R.C.
I have plenty of other sites that provide news it's just that having them
all right there in Quicken is such a convenient starting point.
And you are right. This ought to get fixed.
Thanks again.
