Okay... I'm okay with that... why that symbol? ?Its pretty widely traded.
It's free data, you don't get to ask "why". ;-) It may only be a temporary issue. However, Google *shows* historical data but does not let you download it. Maybe something to do with that exchange? http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=TSE:PD.UN http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=TSE:PD.UN&output=csv Best, Josh -- http://www.fosstrading.com

I've been playing around for some time with the Toronto Stock Exchange... I can't explain the following...
Both
atable <- getSymbols("RIM.TO",auto.assign=FALSE)
atable <- getSymbols("PWT-UN.TO",auto.assign=FALSE)
work fine
But
atable <- getSymbols("PD-UN.TO",auto.assign=FALSE)
Warning message: In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, ?: ?cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found' Bails PD-UN.TO is Precision Drilling Trust which can be found at http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PD-UN.TO Any ideas as to why I can't get PD-UN.TO to work?
