I downloaded and installed the SMF because the MSN addin failed to get OTCPK stocks starting 7/19/13. The MSN website itself also does not produce stock quotes for OTCPK's any longer, it finds the company and puts up NA. I know the format changed for options and I have that working, but not for stocks as far as I know.

I was hoping I could get prices for OTCPK stocks from another source. I looked thru all 20k lines in the def file and only found MSN for last price. And MSN still works for NY stocks. Is there another source for excel prices? Here's some stocks that fail in SMF, MSN, and the MSN website: PFRMF, ATUSF, WFEMF.

Any help with SMF, since I converted my spreadsheet to it, would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

You should use the RCHGetYahooQuotes() function for current quotes. It can
grab numerous items on up to 200 stocks with one function invocation (and
one Internet access).

Element #25 has been incorrect since last year, when MSN redesigned their
print page. Ever since then, they've populated that field with the previous
day's closing price.

I've just built my first spreadsheet using the smf addin. No major
problems, but I did get an error when I went from Win7 to XP. When I
closed the spreadsheet in XP, I got an error dialog that said "Compile
error in hidden module: SolverCode". Everything seems to run fine on
both operating systems in spite of this error. The spreadsheet was
built in Win7. Excel 2010 on both operating systems.

If anyone wants to have a look, it's called "Option Screener.xlsx" in
the User File area. I'm just a hack, so if anyone has any suggestions
on improving it, I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Kevin

SolverCode is not part of the SMF add-in. It has no hidden modules.

Most of my option sheets are over in this Yahoo group:

http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/justcoveredcalls/

I have one similar to yours, but it looks at the first ITM and first OTM
calls for a covered call, then determines which has the best return of the
stock price remains unchanged:

* * 2013-07-26 * * OX * * * * *Best
covered call based on RIU* *Ticker* *Last Price* *Strike* *RIU* *RIE* *D/P*
*Call Ticker Symbol* *Bid Price* MMM $116.19 ITM 1.0% 1.0% 2.1% MMM 7/26
2013 $115.00 Call $2.39 SPY $169.17 ITM 0.6% 0.6% 0.7% SPY 7/26 2013
$169.00 Call $1.17 IWM $104.31 OTM 0.7% 0.8% 0.7% IWM 7/26 2013 $104.50
Call $0.68
But I just update it to use the smfUpdateDownloadTable process for this, so
there is no waiting for recalculation when the workbook is opened. It will
show the values that were there the last time it was saved. I typically
just change the expiration date, list of ticker symbols for my potential
candidates, then run the macro.

Hi Randy

I read from the blog that there is no element number for Accumulated Depreciation for Google Finance. Could you pls give me a RCHGetTableCell formula for this in the format below so that I can fill in symbol and year in another cell.

Thanks

LL
