Myrtle Beach paper delays new stock page

The Myrtle Beach Sun News expected to roll out its new Money & Markets page on Tuesday but was unable to because of technical problems at The Associated Press. The addition will come in the next few days.

A short item in Tuesday’s paper stated, “Please continue to send in the stocks and mutuals you watch. There have been about 500 requests for stocks and about 75 mutuals that will be added over the next few weeks.

“Keep them coming, and we will continue to add them. Please keep in mind that it takes three to four weeks to add them because we get the data from The AP in New York.

“Watch the pages for the next three weeks. If you don’t see your request by then, please call 626-0364 so we can track down what happened and make sure they get in.

“The response has been overwhelming and, in some cases, we received stock symbols that were incorrect. AP and The Sun News corrected them when possible, but some symbols were too far off.”
