I am experiencing the same problem as you. I use MLDownloader to
download the stock closing prices each day (EOD data). MLDownloader
uses a stock symbol list file to download stocks. My Toronto Stock
Exchange symbols list is only partial. I would like to update it
with the latest list of complanies on the exchange. MLDownloader
does have utilities for combining symbol lists if you have them.
The problem I am having is I cannot find a complete list of the
symbols on the exchange to download.
Anybody know where to find complete lists of symbols on the major
north american exchanges? (NASDAQ, NYSE, AMEX, TSX)
