What went wrong today with Historical Prices?

Yahoo folks, hello.

Respectfully: it's really puzzling to guess why your database of historical prices is so unstable.

Today is a special bad day for that. I'm hereby reporting the problems I'm facing today, that were not problems yesterday, when everything was fine.

For 2014-01- (Jan 2014) the following symbols are followed by the dates (the days) that disappeared from their historical prices:

GLD : 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

TLT, EWJ : 10, 13, 14

IEF, DXJ : 10, 13

DBA, DBO, RSP, EPP, IEV : 10

Basically, it's evident that your database is now having serious problems around Jan 2014.

    As well a chunk of data is missing for EEM from Dec 19th, 2013 to Feb 25, 2014. IWM is also missing data from Jan 9, 2014 through Jan 17, 2014. It looks like there is missing data in a number of securities and possibly some data corruption for those prices listed.

    Is there a time line as to when this could potentially be resolved?

    Check IBM (IBM): No historical data between Jan 10, 2014 and Jan 21, 2014. Check Citigroup (C): No historical data between Jan 10, 2014 and Jan 27, 2014. Etc.
