It look like as of now the problem MAY be fixed (I am using QUicken 2009).

While it will fix back up to 4 days before today, it will leave a few days before that with invalid prices. These may be ignored or deleted, but it's a paiful process one at a time.

Good idea. Here is what I posted

I agree concerning the corrupt stock quotes fiasco. I am having major problems with Quicken 2006 and from the hundreds of complaints on the Quicken community forum, this must affect all versions of Quicken. The portfolio feature worked fine until they "upgraded" (actually downgraded) the on-line portfolio service at Quicken.com. Now you can no longer see all of your accounts on one page, and also a large percentage of the quotes are wrong. This has been going on for weeks with no apologies from Quicken. We have asked Quicken to restore the old service which worked fine most of the time, and they refuse to do so. They have no concept of beta testing, and reassure us that they are making every effort to resolve the problem, but there is no evidence that they understand how much damage they are doing to people who rely on good data for investing decisions.

Wow.... I have always viewed you as pro-QW.

Nice to see that you are as fed up with Intuit's 'meddling', as damn near everyone.... everyone else, but those that work at Intuit.....

I look forward to an open-source finance program..... I think that we, as folks that care about function, rather than profit.... could actually build a great program. I would really like to Quicken killed. It has been such a pain, for so many years...... 'They' do not care about us, once the 'check clears'............

Thanks! This is what I have seen too and sent over to the engineer. We have what we believe is a fix for this problem and we are finsishing some testing on right now. I will give an update in the next two hours.

Thanks,

Dale

At 3:16 PM eastern, not corrupting, but prices are not updating (in last 60 minutes), so today's prices are old.

Quicken 2009 actually.

I have stopped the downloading of historical prices until this is fixed.

If I have to go through all my stocks each day to see if the prices are correct, I'd just as soon enter the current price and not have to check and fix several previous prices.

As of 3:50 central time I am still unable to log into the online Quicken Portfolio. I keep getting an error message of "Either User does not exist or password verification has failed" I have been using the same User ID and password for years without a problem until now. What needs to be done to correct the problem? I tried to re-register and it said the user ID was already in use, so obviously the User ID is still valid.

Hi All,

We have deployed the fix for the issue where prices were being corrupted to the production servers. We believe this should take care of the corrputed prices. None of us are able to duplicate the issue any longer on our side.

In addition we fixed another bug where the 7 day yield was being downloaded as the high and low for Money Market securities.

Issues that we are still working on.

1. We are working to resolve tickers such as ABN-G or BRK.A not downloading the current quote.
2. We found an issue where prices are being downloaded for 9/1/08 when doing a historical quotes download. Quicken does a historical quotes download when you click Download Historical Quotes from Portfolio View or have more than 30 days of missing price history data.

Please let us know if you are running into any issues.

Thanks,

Dale

Hi,

What error message are you receiving when trying to login into the Quicken.com Investments Portfolio? I am logging into my portfolio right now.

Looking for your answer.

Hi Bill,

Are you trying to download stocks or mutual funds? Can you provide me some sample tickers that are not downloading?

Thanks,

I am a beta tester for 2009 and am running 2007 and 2009 parallel on two computers. If, as stated, the migration to the new portfolio system is complete. In spite of the fact the the securities list and symbols are an exact match 2009 fails to download about 40% of the quotes downloaded by 2007. Since the beta test period is over I thought someone(are you there Quicken Kathryn?) should look into this immediately before millions of potentially faulty copies are shipped to the stores.

Thank you for your attention

Hi,

Can you provide me a list of the tickers that are not downloading? I do know of some issues with tickers that are formed like.

ABN-G
BRK.A

We are currently looking into the symbol issues above not downloading.

Thanks,

Dale

It looks like the problem with current quotes not downloading was a temporary while the fix was installed. Check of some closing proices look ok.

DFS and TEL now correct lookup.

RDS.a Royal Dutch Shell found on line, but not Quicken d/l

Another category with quote problems is Prefferred Stocks: some samples are: FRPRJ, MTBPRA, PSAPRM (I have more)

I assume the problem with Prices d/l with investments that have no quotes (E.g. Bond) not being inserted into Quotes file is a program problem. IS a fix in the works? Worked in 2007, but not 2009

not downloading

still messing up prior day(s) pricing

Still have some stocks going up and down huge percentage from the day before because the prior day is wrong

Hi Bill,

I want to be sure I understand the problem right. You own bonds in a brokerage account (Some FI) and are downloading transaction data each day or so. The bond price is not being populated to the price history list for your bond. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Dale

As of 4:40 p.m. CST still getting corrupted historical prices making gain/loss for the day way off.

Two things.

When I try to do a One Step Update, I get a message in Portfolio Sync saying "Database in Read only mode try request again later."

When I try to login at https://login.quicken.com/login?dest=http://investing.quicken.com/portfolio/Index.asp

I enter my User ID and password and click on Sign In. Beneath the password box I then get:

"Either User does not exist or password verification has failed" in red lettering.

I have used the same User ID and password, so didn't forget it as I have used for 5+ years I have not changed it or re-registered for the "new" site. I went to re-register, thinking that may be needed, but was told my user ID was already in use so figured re-registering wasn't needed.

If I click the "Forgot your password" link It takes me to the change password screen and show my screen name, but a blank for the Security Question. I don't know that I ever set up a security question, and definately don't know the answer without knowing what the question is.When I guess what the Security Question may be, and obviously guess wrong, it gives a red message of "Security Answer does not match with that in our database"

I tried to duplicate CAH. I can't duplicate the invalid prices after deleting and downloading prices 5 times in about 5 minutes.

The one thing I am seeing is that it is downloading only today's quote. I sent this over to the engineering team.

One way around this is to remove the invalid prices you have for CAH and then use the "Download Historial" quotes button in the Portflio View to download hitorical quotes for the last month. The missing quotes will be filled in.

Thanks,

Dale

I just ran into it myself. Already have this esclated to our engineering team.

Dale

Once again, I bought into the hype and tried an update. Once again, not even close. Here is a sample of symbols that are so far off it is not even believable:

CX
CCL
C
BUD
AVB
AVP
BAC
CNK

Example, CNK is down .50, .34% Quicken reports it as down 31.96, 68.9%. The stock is actually trading at 14.57.

Yup, techs are all over this problem like a wet blanket. It will be fixed any minute now...

DUH, because I paid for Quicken and not SCHWAB.

Thanks! I have duplicated the issue myself. Getting the engineers to look at it again.

Thanks,

Dale

Yes. Merrill Lynch.

In 2007 it worked fine. No Price when portfolio downloaded, then it would create a .qph record for that issue

Oops looks like it went nuts again.....
