As you correctly suspected, the symbol "IBM" works and returns a chart.
I initially encountered the problem by right clicking on a line for the S&P 500, which has the symbol "^SPX". However, when I search finance.yahoo.com for "^SPX", it seems to return a graph for "^GSPC". Perhaps "^SPX" is an alias for "^GSPC" that finance.yahoo.com understands, but smtm does not. In any case, I'd like to suggest improving smtm's error handling.
