Why historical prices are unstable?
This is a qs to Yahoo folks directly.
Several stocks are affected by similar problems but let's take NWSA as an example.
The download of NWSA historical prices produces *randomly* two different csv:
1) Sometimes the resulting csv has all the data => is good.
2) Sometimes the resulting csv is missing exactly these dates:
2014-01-08 2014-01-09 2013-07-29
Again: the outcome is random but consistent within these two cases for NWSA. And. again, this is not an isolated case of random outcomes.
Dear Yahoo folks, please do not respond "I cannot replicate this problem". That is a true matter of facts. Just try several times and you will see that happening.
Looking FWD to reading a response and seeing that resolved. Thanks.!

Hey Mambo,
So I went ahead and downloaded this NWSA data via csv a total of 6 times, and they all showed this data. However, I'm not doubting what you're seeing. I'll go ahead and pass this to our engineers if necessary.
Although me sending this to our engineers might not exactly force changes. If they're unable to replicate and see no issues in the code, they may need more info. It'd probably be best to hit us up via email with details.
If it continues, please contact our Customer Care team at:

Here, you'll see a few categories to choose from. Once you go through the steps, you'll see an option to send us an 'Email'. Fill out the email form and 'Send'.
Thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the inconvenience.
