Hi,

thanks for the package. Some symbols aren't unique like MTX (MTX NYSE Minerals Technologies Inc) and (MTX Frankfurt MTU Aero Engines) Is it possible to specify the exchange in some way? Something like MTX_NYSE = Share('NYSE:MTX')

Thanks!

Hi, MTX.F is MTU Aero Engines on the Frankfurt exchange. Yahoo adds a . (dot) and one or two letters for distinguishing stocks between exchanges. LM Ericsson is for example ERIC on NASDAQ and ERIC-A.ST on Stockholm
