James and RT's,
I have tried a least 7 different vendors and I have found many
differences. For example the Dow Jones Industrial Index has been some of
the following, DJIY, DJ, DJIX, and INDU. For futures I have coffee, as KC,
CC, and CO. As for individual stocks I have ACM (government fund) coming
up as CMTA on another service. I'm sure that there must be others now that
there are thousands of equities, and to compound the problem there are
changes like Westinghouse(WX) becoming CBS after WX bought the network. Of
course once referenced like Soybeans(S) there’s no need to be redundant.
Best Regards,
Brent
