Hi Martin, sorry for the late reply. For some reason I never got this
digest in my email inbox.
OK, understood about the underscores and using dashes instead. Problem is
that the tickers for these funds in Google Finance use underscores - which
means updating the prices on a regular basis won't work, if I understood
the part of price fetching correctly
Thanks
Sagar
