That is correct, I know the difference between causation and correlation. Thanks for reminding me! However, you don't have to be paranoid to know for sure that "they" are after you .

I absolutely agree.

Can you explain the netstock.exe set-up?

I just found the most recent version (3/25/2008) here:

You have to input the stock symbols. It is easiest (for me) to copy the list from a yahoo finance portfolio, but any way is fine. Once the quotes are retrieved they are exported to a format compatible with Quicken, default is prices.csv. Then from within Quicken you import the prices. There used to be a hitch that the dates were assigned to today, which on a Sunday would be incorrect, as the latest prices were Friday 4 PM.

That "hitch" is still present in the latest version. It basically means that you must get your Quicken prices after the last price is available for the day but before the date changes at midnight; or at least some of your prices will be incorrectly dated. [If you remember before you import to Quicken, you can modify the incorrect dates in the comma delimited file.]

I suggested to the developer that he allow an option to output the dates of the prices (which are available and appear in the display), but he thought that was asking too much and seemed much more worried about outputting invalid dates. The non-Quicken export uses the correct dates, so I never understood why the Quicken export couldn't do that as well.

What kind of obsessive inDUHvidual NEEDS to update their prices EVERY effing day?

Wow, so judgmental.
