Bill: I don't believe the problem is looking at different Yahoo servers; because you can use AmiQuote on different days...downloading Basic and Fundamental info and the same errors exist in AB. Here is an example of "some" fundamental info for just one ticker KYN... there are many such data descripencies problems that can be found:
Yahoo AmiQuote AmiQuote KYN Basic Extended 1.92 1.92 0 Current Dividend N/A 275,140 275,140 Forward Dividend 0.18% 582,600,000% 582,600,000% % Held by Insiders 17.50% 0.18% 0.18% % Held by Institutions 7/2/2010 7/2/2010 7/8/2010 Ex-Dividend Date 7/8/2010 7/9/2010 7/9/2010 Dividend Date o The first column are the value in Yahoo. o The second column are the values in AB after downloading Basic Fundamental data using AmiQuote. o The third column are the values in AB after downloading Extended Fundamental data using AmiQuote. Ton: Since you seem to use a different download program for retrieving Yahoo fundamental data for AB...what are your results for the above example. Also, what is the alternative program you are using to download yahoo fundamental data into AB?
