Simple Price Scrape enhancement now includes Yahoo

Hi Kiloran

You are right it's all over the place. As I said previously Yahoo is not reliable.

Only one problem with prices derived from FT.com. Fund prices are often delivered (by the Fund managers) to three or four decimal places but FT,Com rounds them down to two decimal places. Which can make a significant difference in a portfolio with a lot of funds.

Thanks again for looking at this and let's hope Yahoo reverts back to how it used to be.

LOL! Well that's not much of a hope -- Yahoo was always unreliable! It just varied on how unreliable it was!

At least now their "closing" price is actually the same as the LSE close. Previously Yahoo just showed the price of the last trade, and as trades can continue after the market closes Yahoo's closing price was often different to everywhere else.
