Can't get online quotes for some Fidelity/BlackRock investments

[brad]

Can you download an OFX file?  If so, this might be useful:

http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Importing_fund_or_stock_prices_from_an_OFX_file

If you can't download an OFX, you could probably use this as a template
to extract the price data and use the python bindings to import the
prices.
