If you take the trouble to read what follows the part you have quoted, 
you will see

ALM.MC       errormsg: Stock lookup failed

which seems to explain the problem: your stock symbol is not recognised 
by the quote source you have chosen to use. Either use a different quote 
source, or correct your stock symbol.
