Portfolio Manager discontinued and no longer support

Portfolio Manager is no longer being maintained or supported.  I recommend that you use a service like Share Sight

Updating stock prices no longer working

Portfolio Manager has been using Yahoo Finance to retrieve free delayed stock prices updates for your portfolio.  Unfortunately after many years of offering this free service, Yahoo has decided to shutdown this service without any warning.  I am looking into if there are any other free alternatives or if Yahoo are going to offer a paid service.  For now though Portfolio Manager will be unable to update the stock prices for your portfolio.

To manually update the stock prices, right click on the stock code and select ‘Update Details’.  You can then enter the current price of the stock.

Stock prices not automatically updating

Portfolio Manager uses Yahoo Finance for its stock quote updates.  Every so often they have an issue however this generally only lasts a day or two.  Another common reason is anti virus or firewall software blocking the internet connection from the program.  Please check that this isn’t the case.

If that still doesn’t help please do the following:

  1. Open Portfolio Manager
  2. Click on Tools | Options.
  3. At the bottom is an option to set the quote source.  Update this to USA or YQL.
