Share Ticker Symbol Assistance Req'd

Mar 07, 2009 6 Replies

I am trying to add a preferred share series to my account, but I cannot seem to get the ticker set properly to be able to sdownload the quotes for the share.



The stock is the Royal Bank Preferred I series. TSX lists the ticker as RY.PR.I, I have tried may permeations of this symbol to get it to download to no avail. Does anyone have any idea how to format the symbol to work? Thanks in advance.

Yahoo Finance shows the shares as RY-PR.TO Give that a try.

No, that does not work. Any other ideas? Is there anyone actually tracking this stock that knows the correctly formatted symbol for Quicken? Thanks.

I'm afraid not - other than trying RY-PR without the .TO attached. But, I'm sure you've already tried that. Maybe Quicken doesn't retrieve prices from the Toronto exchange?

Shannon,

Have you tried RY-I?

Thank you very much, your suggestion worked. I must have tried that variation since I have not seen a hyphen in any of my other symbols. Thanks again.

Shannon,

You are welcome. Glad to hear it worked.
