DESCRIPTION¶
This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds from
finanace.canada.com. The information source "canada" can be used if
the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to
specifically use finance.canada.com.
STOCK_FUND-CODE¶
Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier. This module
uses the symbols as used on finance.canada.com. The simplest way to fetch the
ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to finance.canada.com, search for your
particular stock or mutual fund, and note the symbol ID. This is helpfully
provided by the site in their returned HTML quote.
