YFData.download() failing with certain instruments (ValueError: Symbols have mismatching columns)

[arnobeutch]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if it is obvious, but I'm completely lost. Consider this:

`def main():
symbols = ["AAPL", "GOOG", "NVDA"] # ! works
# symbols = ["BTC-USD","ETH-USD"] # ! works
# symbols = ["BTC-USD","ETH-USD"] # ! works
# symbols = ["BTC-USD","ETH-USD", "XMR-USD", "ADA-USD"] # ! works
# symbols = ["SPY", "QQQ", "^FCHI"] # ! doesn't work
# symbols = ["AAPL", "GOOG", "FB"] # ! doesn't work
# symbols = ["AAPL", "GOOG", "SPY"] # ! doesn't work

price = vbt.YFData.download(
    symbols,
    start=datetime(2018, 1, 1, tzinfo=pytz.utc), 
    interval="1d",
    missing_index="drop",
).get("Close")`

As per the comment on each symbols = line: some will succeed, others will fail with ValueError: Symbols have mismatching columns.
What am I missing ?! Many thanks.

With VSCode using uv, pyproject.toml:
[project] name = "myvectorbt" version = "0.1.0" description = "Add your description here" readme = "README.md" requires-python = ">=3.13" dependencies = [ "ruff>=0.9.4", "vectorbt>=0.27.2", "yfinance>=0.2.52", ]

Running Python 3.13 as it's visible, and the venv has:
`(myvectorbt) mprz@fedora:~/MyVectorBT$ uv pip list
