In other words, yahoo still has information on the symbols, but f::q does not retrieve it. The automatic retrieval works for 1, but not the other 2 sumbols. gnc-fq-dump gives the same anwer.

Dunno where you got gnc-path-check, but it wasn't from us. We have a gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, gnc-fq-helper, and gnc-fq-update. No gnc-path-check.

What same answer does gnc-fq-dump give, that the symbol isn't found? What are the two symbols? Have you tried price source tiaacref?
