Downloading ETF Quotes?

Dec 24, 2007 1 Replies

Hi,



I have been using Quicken for some time and never had a problem with updating any stock quotes, even with OTCBB and Pinksheets companies. For the first time, however, I cannot get current or historical quotes to download for one of my holdings. I purchased a few shares of DIG - Proshares Ultra Oil & Gas. I manually added it as a 'stock', under ticker DIG, with the name Proshares Ultra Oil & Gas. It is not a stock, but actually an exchange traded fund, however there is no option for this (Quicken 2007). I always get an error when I try to update online for historical and current quote information. I also tried changing type to mutual fund, but that also did not work.



Any ideas as to what is the problem? Perhaps someone could try adding DIG in their version of quicken just to see if they can get online quotes off it.



Thanks, Doug


Doug:

Quote servers may be flaky again. I could add DIG to Q2008 H&B, but could not get current or historical prices. I'd just wait till this evening.
