Earliest available data on yahoo to download

Sorry when I said xts I meant quantmod. Please see my code below. If
you ever use quantmod getSymbols, the code below should be clear to
you. Another package was tseries. Somehow zoo vignette has an example
on it. So I just called it zoo. Regardless of which, the problem is
the same. Thanks.

getSymbols("JPM",start="2006-01-01")

[1] "JPM"

head(JPM)

It would really help if you provided reproducible code, especially
since neither zoo or xts have methods to access Yahoo data.

Best,

Hi - I used xts and zoo to try to download stock data from yahoo. I
set the start date to 2005-01-01. I got only portion starting from
2007-01-03. However, if I got to yahoo and manually click to download
historical data it will give me everything. So is this a known problem
with xts and zoo? Or is it a problem with yahoo? Is there anyway
around? Thank you in advance.
