HNY. As the question in the subject line implies, I'm getting errors trying to use the tseries package function get.hist.quote(). Can anyone shed light on my calling it incorrectly, or in a change of its signature/functionality?
I noticed these errors starting at my work yesterday. Today on my home machine, same issue. Same results for various combinations of symbol, start/end dates, and granularity (day vs month).
Here's an example:
> spy = get.hist.quote(instrument= 'SPY',
start = "2000-01-01",
end = "2013-10-31",
quote="AdjClose",
provider = "yahoo",
origin="1970-01-01",
compression = "m",
retclass="zoo")

download error, retrying ...
