Why doesn't share price update?

[jrjoy]

Why does "HAMA" not update? I got the symbol via Money's search site.
Also still cannot get a symbol for "HSBC Life UK Defensive Fund" (It is
not a Unit Trust). It updates happily under iii site, but after hours
going off at a dozen tangents on Money's search facility I still end up
without an answer. (Glyn: MID unfortunately got nowhere)

Not all prices are available, so finding them on one site doesn't
necessarily mean they will be downloaded (as I think I would have said when
suggesting MID).

HAMA looks like preference shares (III has HAMPSON 6H% PF 6.5P(NET)CUM CNV
RED PRF 91/2003 5P (HAMA.L)), and I don't think they are available
presently. I couldn't see this one under Moneycentral either.

As for the defensive fund, what exactly is it? An insurance fund, pension
fund etc? If either of those I don't think you'll get it downloaded, due to
the first comment I made.

Thanks again, Glyn.
The Defensive is an ISA but I accept that not every share is available.
