That suggestion is a bit misleading. The coding standard suggested is the one applied by Yahoo. And it was probably convenient to do so in order to fetch the prices from Yahoo! Finance. However, there is no such requirement on the GnuCash side. One can name their stocks any way they feel like. As long as it means something to them. I, for example, tend to use the exchange code (i.e. AMS) for the namespace and for the symbol I use the stock ticker as shown on that exchange. There is a translation involved in the price fetching part but that is a separate story. -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
