Re: BT quotes on Yahoo.

I've been using Yahoo's finance.uk pages to display my portfolio.

> Today I looked and it said BT, under the symbol bt.a.l at 0 last > traded 1970. > Is this a c*ck-up or has the ticker symbol changed. > Yahoo's own symbol look-up only gave bt.l which again was valued at > 0.

Don't know, must have been a glitch, it is showing 202.25p and last trade 6 may now under both symbols, I notice however that "at the beginning of April" they were planning to change their quote provider from Reuters to Telekurs Financial, that could explain the change in symbol between bt-a.l and bt.l, maybe the change got delayed and they have been implementing it the start of may instead.

The pr Dear Users, We are changing the quotes data provider for Y! Finance in the next few weeks. Y! Finance is switching all European exchanges from Reuters to our new data provider Telekurs Financial. We would like to give you advance warning about any changes you might notice during the switch so your use of Y! Finance continues without any hitches

And:

If you are tracking a lot of stocks and other securities in your portfolio, some quotes may not update after the switch. The reason for this could be that you're using a Reuters-specific symbol for the stock that is no longer supported by our new quotes provider Telekurs. For example the Reuters ticker for the stock Yahoo! is "YHOO", but the Telekurs ticker for Yahoo! is "YHO". You then just need to update the entry in your portfolio. Please visit the Help with updating your portfolio page and the How to modify your portfolio page.".
