Downloading quotes

Using Quicken Premier 2006 which seems not to download quotes anymore. Some months ago someone came up with a workaround. He used a small program to download quotes in csv a format which them could be imported into quicken. Can some one help? How do you continue getting quotes using an older version of Quicken? Thanks for any help. Nathan

Yahoo Finance can do this. Set up a portfolio, and the stock info can be downloaded into a .csv file.

In Quicken, go to a portfolio view. from the file menu, select 'import'. The prices will import into Q.

Q2006 online services and support have been sunsetted; so no more quote downloads using Q2006.

There is a free app called Netstock which runs on your desktop and pulls quotes at a frequency you choose. When you are ready to import the prices into Quicken, you tell Netstock to create a .csv file of the prices, which you then import (File > Import > Import Prices ... with the Portfolio tab displayed).

One caution: Netstock always dates the quotes exported to the csv file with today's date ... even when it knows better. If you import prices before the mutual funds have computed their prices for the day, you will get yesterday's mutual fund prices with today's date.

Sorry, meant to mention that Netstock is free, you can find it with Google.

Thanks - my IQ must have dropped a couple dozen points - I cannot add any mutual fund symbols to the empty screen waiting for same. The "FAQ" isn't one and no help menu even though there's one. So I have to ask, humbly, how do I add my funds symbols to the screen?

Settings | Stocks... | Ticker Symbol

If you need to look up stock and mutual fund symbols, have a look at:

Thanks - the symbols I already have, and for reasons unknown to me I had gone to the settings stock page but clicked on "quick add" button instead of "add/change"!
