The first one is routine and just means that you're not using Finance::Quote to retrieve stock prices or currency exchange rates.

The others indicate an attempt to write an invalid time stamp into the data file--we use INT64_MAX as the not a time/unknown time value--and that's probably just an indication that some date field is empty.
