This is the third post that you’ve made in 2 hours asking the same question which Geert answered yesterday: Yahoo changed something which broke Finance::Quote. There’s nothing you, or we, can do about it. Only the Finance::Quote folks can fix the module after one of them figures out what Yahoo has changed and how to work around it.
