Earliest available data on yahoo to download
Assuming you are using quantmod, try the from argument. For example:
getSymbols("^AORD", from="2000-01-01")
will retrieve data going back to 2000 from yahoo while
getSymbols("^AORD")
defaults to just retrieving data from the last two years.

It would really help if you provided reproducible code, especially since neither zoo or xts have methods to access Yahoo data. Best, Josh -- http://www.fosstrading.com On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 8:47 PM, R_help Help<rhelpacc at gmail.com> wrote:
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. ads
