Hi Harry - Most of the funds went out late last night.
I've been considering how to implement you suggestion, and I think I have a reasonable solution. I can provide a small program that will query what is ready, display it to you, and then give you the choice of downloading or not. We now send out several different updates between 5pm and 10pm, so there is no real final price file until late in the evening, but the stock prices are settled usually by 5:45, there will be corrections, and volume changes that go out until about 10pm. There are usually 3 fund files that go out each evening, the last is about 9pm. In the past, we wouldn't get any fund prices if the fund company was late, now we do. The fund prices don't change, we just catch up with what companies are reporting.
