Dear R People: About 2 years ago, there were a few messages about the function priceIts from library(its) generating error messages. One of the suggested fixes at that time was to check security software and such. I'm getting the same message tonight, and have checked both from Windows and a Linux installation. The other suggestion was to determine if there is still a problem with the yahoo Finance website. This may still be the problem. Does anyone have any other suggestions, please? Thanks in advance!
