[GNC] Getting stock prices

[John Layman]

I've continued using AlphaVantage for NYSE and NASDAQ securities without any
problem for years, but for the past two trading days it has returned
nothing.  Something does appear to have changed at AlphaVantage so I've
switched price source to Yahoo as json.

Be aware that AlphaVantage - the free version - has a built-in delay if you
are updating more than five stock prices. My updates were taking over two
minutes (I had somewhere between 10-20 prices to update). When I switched to
something else, it now takes seconds.  This is just a general reminder (I
know it does not answer the question).

The text below only matters if you are dealing in stocks not based on US
currency. There was a problem with getting updates from AlphaVantage if a
conversion had to be done because the exchange rate info that used to be
part of the free program was moved to the pay-for (premium) version. The
notice states that it has been moved back to the free version.

What stock price were you trying to update? I haven't had any problem
getting it to work -- but if you are using AlphaVantage, you need a (free)
ID code for it to work.
