Just so you don't feel too
frustrated, you are not alone in getting non-responses at yahoo. Take any
subject concerning data at yahoo and substitute it into your received yahoo
response and I've seen it. Why certain indexes have no historical data...its
the vendor and we hope someone will fix it. Why price data gets decimal points
wrong or is missing..its the vendor and we hope someone will fix it. How about
adding breadth data that has historical capability, its the vendor and we hope
someone will add it.

Yahoo Historical - Inaccurate Data
FYI on
Free Yahoo data:
I recently wrote Yahoo Finance as to why Adj.
Close on
the historical
data is only supplied to two decimal places, which
makes it very crude.
For example, CSCO in early 1990 was varies from
$23.00-24.00 while the
Adj. Close = $0.08 for all prices from $23.00 to
24.00.
Elsewhere Yahoo claims CSIData is their data
supplier.
Can someone with
CSIData tell me if the database you pay for has
the
same limitation?

Hello Terry,
Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Customer Care.
Currently, our provider supplies the data to two
decimal places.
We are hoping that, in the future, the historical
prices in the adjusted
close column will reflect more decimal places for
convenience. At this
time, we are unable to determine when this event
will
occur.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer
Care.
Regards,
John
