Louie is gonna start to post when he has some #$#@%puter problems fixed.
Gad 3 hours blackout yesterday from my adsl and had to switch to manual.
Then, some strange dings zappening on Yahoo quotes downloads.
1- limit to 200 quotes, whatever, tickers or histories through the site's interface. (Though, history file now shows the first date they have).
2- limit to the last 3 months of history download through my scripts, whichever start_date and end_date I choose. Must figure a workaround.

Took me one hour to load EGAB.PA (pink sheet, ELFGF.PK hardly traded) http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=EGAB.PA
Elf Gabon is the divvie cash cow of TotalFinaElfAquitaine....
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ELFP.PA&d=t

The charts on EGAB.PA http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=EGAB.PA&t=2y&l=on&z=m&q=c&c= show long black candles... the day the divvie is paid.
Good opportunity seem to be to short the day before ex-div.
Or keep it longer term (26% div payout <g> doh!)
