Hi

this package seems very interesting, I tried using it with Stock with ticker MTCH

tried: s = Stock('MTCH')

LookupError: Ticker symbol not found. Try adding the exchange parameter

s = Stock('MTCH',exchange="NASDAQ")

LookupError: Ticker symbol not found. Try adding the exchange parameter

s = Stock('MTCH',exchange="NASD") LookupError: Ticker symbol not found. Try adding the exchange parameter

tried: pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mcdallas/wallstreet.git

got the same error in all three cases

@moongraber unfortunately Google Finance API has being discontinued. The only way to use this module atm is to use the source='yahoo' parameter which makes it pull the prices from Yahoo Finance instead. Keep in mind that in some cases Yahoo Finance quotes are delayed by up to 15 minutes.
