Re: [GNC] Vanguard investments module for Gnucash / Finance ::Quote
Frank - thanks for your message and the suggestion. I made two updates to the module and posted it to the Finance::Quote developers list. Those updates are: - Changed the logic that retrieves the last price to directly extract the last (most current) row of the price table, instead of iterating from the top. Probably doesn't make much difference but this is a little cleaner. - Provided two links in the SEE ALSO documentation section, one for 529 portfolios and one for all other Vanguard products.

[GNC] Vanguard investments module for Gnucash / Finance ::Quote
Vanguard investors using GnuCash may be frustrated that many Vanguard products (like their 529 portfolios, any 401(k) / 403(b) products with the word "Trust" in the title) do not have prices that are easily obtainable from one of the regular price sources.
