[GNC] 5.5-1 crashing on macOS 14.3

[Tom Teixeira]

I did end up making time to investigate today, and the problem ended up 
being just one fund that no longer works with YahooWeb. This particular 
fund is a "stable value" fund so checking the value is somewhat 
superfluous. As it turns out, it does with with AlphaVantage.

Again, thanks to David Reiser for the information to explicitly specify 
x86_64 architecture when running on Apple silicon.
