[GNC] Finance::Quote enters previous day's price as today's

[David Carlson]

I am not sure that this is your problem or not, but I have found that I
need to wait several hours after the markets have closed before downloading
mutual fund prices.  It seems to take hours for some of them to get posted
at Yahoo.com. One way to check would be to see what Yahoo.com is reporting
early after hours vs later.

GnuCash only keeps one downloaded price per day, and repeated prices are
discarded.  If you see that is what is happening, you might file a RFE to
keep the last price reported instead of the first.
