MORE INFORMATION

Shares in non-U.S. companies are often traded on a U.S. exchange as well as the non-U.S. exchange. If a non-U.S. security is traded on a U.S. exchange, when you find the U.S. ticker symbol you receive the quote information from the U.S. exchange in U.S. dollars.

If you want to retrieve the value from a non-US exchange, you must specify the non-U.S. country code followed by the non-U.S. symbol. For example, to do this for a Canadian security, type the following line:

CA:xyz

In this example, xyz is the ticker symbol for the security.
