DESCRIPTION
This module obtains information about Canadian Stock and Mutual Funds
from finanace.canada.com. The information source "canada" can be used
if the information source is unimportant, or "financecanada" to
specifically use finance.canada.com.
STOCK_FUND-CODE
Canadian stocks/mutual funds do not have a unique symbol identifier.
This module uses the symbols as used on finance.canada.com. The
simplest way to fetch the ID for a particular stock/fund is to go to
finance.canada.com, search for your particular stock or mutual fund,
and note the symbol ID. This is helpfully provided by the site in
their returned HTML quote.
LABELS RETURNED

labels:
