            Bug ID: 437332
           Summary: We should default to yahoo for any new securities
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.1.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: importer
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: me at dawidwrobel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

When importing a statement with new securities, they get created with Stooq
source configured by default, which most of the cases will not work due
proprietary symbol prefixes/suffixes which Stooq uses (e.g. AMD is AMD.US)

We should default to Yahoo Finance instead, now that it's been stable for over
a year. We may also default to Yahoo Finance for any new currencies added. This
may actually be necessary  if there's no distinction in code between the type
of security at the time it gets created – and from a quick glimpse at the code,
it seems to be the case.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Import a statement with new, previously unknown securities

OBSERVED RESULT
1. Notice that Stooq is selected as a default source for online quotes
2. Notice that Stooq will most likely *not* work with the imported security's
vanilla symbol.


EXPECTED RESULT
1. KMM should default to Yahoo Finance, increasing the chances that the online
quotes would work out of the box for any new security.
