Couls anyone explain why the IWM symbol ETF has no historical quotes?

Also why GSPC does not appear on Google Finance althogh it does on
Yahoo!?

Hi Robert, I'm seeing historical prices for IWM. Can you try again and let us know if it's still a problem? Google Finance equivalent of Yahoo's ^GSPC symbol is .INX

thanks

Alex

Thank you Alex. It works.

How could I have found the .INX symbol on my own? Asking for other
indexes that I may need.

Try searching for it by name, for example: http://www.google.com/finance?q=S%26P+500 . But you'll observe that the result I recommended is at the bottom of the results. We're doing a bit of work to tune the search results ranking; hopefully you'll see some improvement there in the coming weeks. But for now that's what I'd recommend -- search for it and then grovel through the results as best you can.
